The Many Deaths of Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler had died more deaths in one week than any man in history.

Said the Hamburg radio: Hitler died "at his command post in the Reich Chancellery, fighting the Russians to the last."

Said Swedish Count Folke Bernadotte, who had it from Heinrich Himmler on April 24; Hitler had a cerebral hemorrhage, might already be dead.

Said Dr. Hans Fritzsche, captured Goebbels deputy: Hitler had committed suicide.

Said the Tokyo radio: Hitler was killed by an exploding shell as he walked down the steps of his Berlin Chancellery.

Said the Paris-Presse: After a quarrel with Hitler over the continuation of the war, other Nazi leaders blew him to bits by a bomb placed in his underground fortress in the Tiergarten on April 21.

Said the London Daily Express: Hitler is on his way to Japan in a U-boat.

Said United Press war correspondent Edward W. Beattie Jr., liberated last week after eight months in Nazi captivity:

Germans believe that Hitler was killed in last year's bomb plot.

Soviet soldiers dug deep into the rubble of the Reich Chancellery for Hitler's corpse. They did not find it. Dr. Fritzsche explained to them: "The body has been hidden in a place impossible to find."

But Russia was determined to find Hitler, dead or alive. Said Pravda: "Whether he escaped to hell, to the devil's paws, or to the arms of fascist protectors, still he is no more. We shall find out what really happened to him. And if he escaped, we shall find him, no matter where he is."
