A researcher claims in his new book to have uncovered the ‘truth’ about Adolf Hitler’s death – and it’s even more grotesque than the rumours and conspiracy theories.
Top German forensic expert Professor Klaus Püschel has drawn upon long-buried secret Soviet autopsy files, KGB archive material and never-before-seen photos of Hitler’s skull.
And now he has confirmed that the Nazi Führer poisoned himself and then shot himself in the head as the murderous Third Reich collapsed in flames around him.
‘There’s no doubt anymore. Hitler bit down on a cyanide capsule and seconds later shot himself in the temple with a Walther PPK,’ said Prof Püschel, former head of Hamburg’s Institute for Legal Medicine who has spent years digging into the files hidden behind the Iron Curtain.
Now, his bombshell new book with journalist Bettina Mittelacher – ‘Der Tod geht über Leichen’ (‘Death Walks Over Corpses’) – lays out the macabre evidence about Hitler’s death.
Forensic reports from a Soviet field hospital in Berlin describe a bitter almond smell – the classic sign of cyanide – and glass shards in Hitler’s mouth, from the crushed poison capsule.
But Hitler, did not just stop at that. The morbid details he then picked up his pistol and fired a bullet straight into his right temple, a brutal belt-and-braces suicide to make sure the job was done.
According to Püschel, the terrifying fascist leader had up to two minutes to act after swallowing the poison – and he used them to pull the trigger.
