Russian intelligence agency exposes bombshell Hitler file revealing his final words
A Russian intelligence agency has exposed a bombshell Hitler file that reveals what his final words were.
The documents containing information about Hitler’s death were released by the FSB security service last Wednesday (April 30).
This was dropped exactly 80 years to the day after his death and has provided some new insight into what happened on that fateful day inside the dictator’s bunker.
The file that was unveiled includes declassified statements and notes from his valet SS-Sturmbannführer Heinz Linge and military officer SS-Sturmbannführer Otto Günsche.

According to Linge, Hitler was ‘deluded’ and took his own life because he was ‘afraid’ of getting ‘caught while trying to escape from Berlin’.
Both aides were caught after the war by Soviets and information from them taken in testimonies ended up being vital in understanding what happened to Hitler.
According to reports, Linge was the first person to enter Hitler’s room after his suicide and he assisted in carrying and burning his body.
This is the first time in history that the original documents involving the aides’ testimonies have been made available to the public.
Previously, these were kept secret by the Soviet KGB but are no longer hidden as of last week.
According to a report by the Mirror, one Russian archivist explains that the testimony explains ‘Hitler’s reasons for taking his own life’,
This includes the fact that Hitler ‘believed it was utterly pointless to continue to fight’ and that ‘he was afraid of being caught while trying to escape from Berlin’.
The archivist continued: “There was also his severe physical condition, which was beyond doubt, as well as his delusions of grandeur, which would not allow him to bow to the victor or enter into negotiations with him.”
Footage also shows Hitler’s teeth, which the Soviets used in order to identify him after his burned body was discovered.
The report states that the set of teeth were found ‘on the heavily charred corpses of a man and a woman’, which were later found to be that of Hitler and his wife Eva Braun.
The report went on to say: “The bodies lay about 3 metres from the entrance to the bunker and were covered with soil.
“By 8 May 1945, a forensic report on the man’s corpse—presumably Hitler—was completed.”
After an inspection into the deaths took place, it was found that there was ‘the presence in the mouth cavity of crushed glass ampoule fragments…a distinct bitter almond smell … and results from chemical testing of internal organs showing cyanide compounds’.
