It wasn’t too long ago I posted this on the death of Hitler. Now, a new DNA test puts the evil man’s death in question. The skull assumed to be Hitler’s can’t be. It’s female:
HISTORIANS were rocked yesterday after a DNA test showed Hitler’s skull to be from a WOMAN.
The discovery was made by an expert given access to the Fuhrer’s remains by Russia.
Last night it cast doubt on whether the Nazi tyrant really did commit suicide in his Berlin bunker in April 1945.
…
US archaeologist Nick Bellantoni flew to Moscow after being granted permission to examine the artefacts in the state archive – including bits of the bunker’s bloodstained sofa – for one hour.
He not only discovered the skull was female but also that it was from someone much YOUNGER.
He said: "The bone seemed very thin – male bone tends to be more robust. It corresponds to a woman between the ages of 20 and 40."
Could it be Eva Braun?
Hitler’s lover Eva Braun, who also took cyanide, was 33. But Dr Bellantoni said: "There is no report of her having shot herself or having been shot afterwards. It could be anyone’s." (Emphasis mine.)
If you read the article associated with the previous post on Hitler’s death, the last man living who was in Hitler’s bunker said they burned Hitler, but he didn’t witness it:
"Then Bormann ordered Hitler’s door to be opened. I saw Hitler slumped with his head on the table. Eva Braun was lying on the sofa, with her head towards him. Her knees were drawn tightly up to her chest. She was wearing a dark blue dress with white frills. I will never forget it.
"I watched as they wrapped Hitler up. His legs were sticking out as they carried him past me. Someone shouted to me: ‘Hurry upstairs, they’re burning the boss!’ I decided not to go because I had noticed that Mueller from the Gestapo was there – and he was never usually around. I said to my comrade Hentschel, the mechanic: ‘Maybe we will be killed for being the last witnesses.’"
Interesting that he says he saw Hitler slumped with his head on the table. No mention of blood or a gunshot wound. Perhaps the BBC could go back and ask him some follow up questions now that this has come to light.
If Hitler wasn’t shot, but was ferried out of the bunker alive, that could explain why Heinrich Mueller was there. Mueller was at the bunker the next day, but after that he was never seen again. He could have ensured Hitler’s escape, then his own.
But then, what happened to Hitler?
Or maybe the Russians don’t have any idea what they had then or have now and Hitler was dead, buried and lost to history.
What do you think?
