In 2009 tests on the skull fragment long claimed to be
Adolf Hitler's,
turns out to have belong to a woman under 40 years of
age.
The Guardian, September 27, 2009
Hitler supposedly shot himself on the 30th April 1945, in the Führerbunker, beneath the Reich Chancellery in Berlin. His and his new wife's bodies were carried out to the garden of the rear of the Reich Chancellery and burnt using five cans of petrol. Supposedly this did not totally destroy the corpses and they were placed in a shallow bomb crater and covered. 5 hours later the Reich Chancellery was captured by Soviet troops.
Hitler's body was discovered on May 5th, by Ivan Churakov of the 79th Rifle Corps, to which a unit of SMERSH had been attached with orders to find Hitler's body. SMERSH a Russian acronym for "Death to Spies." was a counterintelligence unit of the Soviet 3rd Army, part of an intelligence organization.

The Soviets buried and dug up the Hitler's remains at least three times in 1945-46 as the army moved around Germany. They were finally interred on a SMERSH-controlled grounds in Magdeburg, a town about 70 miles west of Berlin -- until the Soviet government in 1970 ordered the remains be dug up and burned, the Soviets claimed. 卐
The piece of skull which American scientists have now proven to have belonged to a woman aged between 20 - 40. Was left in the crater in the garden of the Reich Chancellery, it wasn't involved in the tour of Germany with the rest of Hitler's remains. The piece of skull and Hitler's jaw (which remains in secret archives in Moscow) were dug up from the garden in 1946, in a second investigation following rumours Hitler had survived.
On the 15th September 1992, a progamme on Commonwealth television, broadcasted what was claimed to of been film footage of Hitler's body, captured in the Reich Chancellary garden and had remained in Soviet secret archives for 47 years. 卐
The footage showed the body of a gaunt-faced man in uniform lying on his back, shirt buttons undone, tangled hair tugged back from a high forehead. The only distinguishing feature, clearly visible despite the film's poor quality, is a dark moustache.
2 days prior to the Soviets find Hitler & Braun's bodies: "The body of a man with a small tooth brush moustache and diagonal fringe was found. The corpse was subsequently eliminated from the investigation because its socks were darned. The Führer, it was agreed, would not have worn darned sock."
