Where was Hitler buried?

The general consensus is that after committing suicide, his body was cremated and the ashes were buried in an unmarked shell crater near the bunker by his associates. The exact location remains unknown. Other claims, such as the Russians having recovered the corpse, have never been substantiated. Fragments of a skull claimed to be Hitler's were displayed in 2000, but their origin remains in dispute. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/14022 http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Article1439.html http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_is_Adolph_Hitler_buried Mar 09 09, 6:24 PM

On 30 April 1945, after intense street-to-street combat, when Soviet troops were within a block or two of the Reich Chancellery, Hitler committed suicide, shooting himself in the mouth while simultaneously biting into a cyanide capsule. Hitler's body and that of Eva Braun were put in a bomb crater, doused in gasoline by Otto Günsche and other Führerbunker aides, and set alight as the Red Army advanced and shelling continued. In the postwar years there were conflicting reports about what happened to Hitler's remains. After the fall of the Soviet Union, however, it was revealed from records in the Soviet archives that the bodies of Hitler, Eva Braun, Joseph and Magda Goebbels, the six Goebbels children, General Hans Krebs and Hitler's dogs, were secretly buried in graves near Rathenow in Brandenburg. In 1970, the remains were disinterred, cremated and scattered in the Elbe River by the Soviets. According to the Russian Federal Security Service, a fragment of human skull stored in its archives and displayed to the public in a 2000 exhibition came from the remains of Hitler's body and is all that remains of Hitler. The authenticity of the skull has been challenged by many historians and researchers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler#Defeat_and_death Mar 10 09, 5:55 AM
