The Death of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun
Bodies of those who had killed themselves after Hitler and Eva Braun's funeral were found in the bunker. Soviets sent this corpse to Moscow, presuming it to be the Führer's body. The next day they discovered more bodies in an oak water tank - one of them looked remarkably like Adolf Hitler with the little mustache and everything. After their identification and autopsy, they were buried anonymously in the little German town of Raffano. It was just outside that the bodies of Hitler and Eva Brown are said to have been destroyed.
