Well, the truth of the matter is, historically speaking, Hitler and Eva Braun were wrapped in blankets after they killed themselves, placed in a shallow trench and the bodies burned by dousing them with petrol. Of course, fresh bodies do not burn well, and a soldier was sent up with a second five gallon can of petrol to continue the process. A mortar shell struck very close to the area while he was up there to do the deed. He panicked, and ran back into the bunker, not setting the second fire.
The Russians found and spirited away the bodies and cremated them proper. They have been stored in a KGB vault for the last seventy or so years, and only recently has the truth come out that the Russians still maintain control of the remains.
Eva Braun committed suicide via a cyanide capsule, and Hitler via a bullet to the head, only after watching Eva die. Death via cyanide poisoning is not pretty and not instantaneous. It takes a while and it pretty painful. The rumor that Hitler used cyanide AND a bullet is false. He only used a bullet.
The really disgusting part is Magda Goebbels killing her six children with poison. That is truly monstrous.
@eponymoushipster, Hitler’s favorite dish was Vienna sausages and he drank his beer and wine watered down. twenty years of researching WW2 fills ones head with all sorts of arcane trivia.
