How it was 05/09/1998 (1998)

Hitler's bunker, 1945 year.

On May 8, 1945, the leadership of fascist Germany signed an act of unconditional surrender.

Leaders of the Nazi Party and government were brought to trial and executed, however, many managed to survive.

Among them was Adolf Hitler ... at least in this long been sure Truman, Churchill, Zhukov and many others.

Till now newspapers of all countries of the world publish photos of the surviving Fuehrer and articles about his post-war life.

Someone calls these notes a pursuit for a cheap sensation, someone believes.

From the transcript of the press conference of the commander of the 1st Byelorussian Front, Marshal Zhukov, May 9, 1945: "The situation is very mysterious, the identified corpse of Hitler, we did not find anything to say about the fate of Hitler I can not.

At the last minute, he could fly away from Berlin, since the take-off tracks allowed it to be done ... "

Careful searches continued, identification of dozens of bodies was carried out, including those who committed mass suicide in a bunker under the building of the Reich Chancellery.

However, there was no answer until the end of July 1945, when the last meeting of the leaders of the victorious countries was held in Potsdam.

At that time, the whole world was still lost in conjecture about the fate of Hitler, and the press built hypotheses one more incredible than the other, and most of the authors of sensational reports referred to Soviet sources.

Who and for what the myth was needed about the successful escape of the Fuhrer?

The progress of the investigation, the final results of the identification and the fate of Adolf Hitler's remains are told by Colonel Ivan Klimenko, translator of the Smersh department Elena Rzhevskaya, military interpreter Lev Bezymensky, cameraman Mikhail Poselsky.

In the preparation of the program dedicated to the Victory Day, a chronicle of the war years is used.
