> Unknown to the world, Hitler's corpse was interred at a Smersh centre in Magdeburg, East Germany. There it remained long after Stalin's death in 1953. Finally, in 1970, the KGB dug up the corpse, cremated it and secretly scattered the ashes in a river.
This sounds really interesting. Anyone have additional information on this topic?
- m-i-l 11y agoHugh Trevor-Roper's "The Last Days of Hitler" is the nearest we have to a primary source in English. The 1947 edition didn't have any details from the Soviets, but there were a number of subsequent editions where additional details were added, most recently 1995.
