In April 1945, Hitler together with wife Eva Braun moved into the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin. Hitler held daily briefings with his generals and reports of the unstoppable Soviet into Berlin in his quarters. He issued frantic orders to defend Berlin with armies that were already wiped out or were making a hasty retreat westward to surrender to the Americans.

On April 22, Hitler let loose of hysteria; shrieking denunciation of the Army and the “universal treason, corruption, lies and failures” of those who deserted him. Hitler then admits his Reich was a failure and now there was nothing left to do but stay in Berlin and fight ‘til the end.

Before midnight of April 29, Adolf Hitler married Eva Braun in a brief civil ceremony and conducted a celebration in his private suit. By the afternoon of April 29, Soviet ground forces were about a mile away from the Fuhrerbunker. Inside the bunker the last news from the outside world told of the death of Mussolini.

At 2:30 in the morning of April 30, Hitler bid good byes to his staff members. At noon, Hitler attended to his last military situation conference and was told the Soviets were just a block away. At 2 pm, Hitler sat sown and had his last meal. Hitler and his wife went back in their private quarters while Bormann and Goebbels wait nearby.

A gunshot was heard at 3 pm and at 3:30; Bormann and Goebbels entered and found the body of Hitler on the sofa dripping with blood from a gunshot to his right temple while his wife Eva Braun had died from swallowing poison.
