This credible website details the events of April 30, 1945, specifically Adolf Hitler's suicide. The article set the stage by explaining that Hitler "retreated to his Fuhrerbunker in Berlin on 16 January 1945" (Website 1) because the Battle of Berlin was approaching, and the Third Reich would inevitably come to an end afterward. After learning of Mussolini and his mistress' vulgar public execution, Hitler resolved that he and his wife would "not be made a spectacle of," (Website 1). Hitler originally planned to commit suicide using cyanide capsules, and even tested them on his dog, Blondi. However, as the Battle of Berlin revealed the unavoidable defeat of Nazi Germany, Hitler and his wife of 40 hours, Eva Braun, said goodbye to their fellow Fuhrerbunker residents, "including, (Martin) Bormann, Joseph Goebbels and his family, the secretaries, and several military officers," (Website 1). Around 3:30 PM, there was a gunshot and Hitler's personal valet opened the door of his study to see that Hitler had shot himself and Eva had killed herself using a cyanide capsule. Their bodies were "carried up the stairs to ground level" (Website 1) and burned in the gardens behind the Reich Chancellery. By the evening, Hitler's followers and friends who were present in the bunker at the time saluted their burning corpses, signaling the end of Hitler's reign.
