Part 7/9:
In a surreal twist, Hitler married Eva Braun on April 29, 1945, solidifying their bond even amidst the chaos. The marriage, rather than a symbol of hope, underscored the end of an era. Hitler's last will, dictated just hours before their suicides, echoed his delusions of loyalty and betrayal while requesting that their bodies be cremated to prevent humiliation at the hands of Soviet captors.
The Endgame: Suicidal Despair
As Soviet troops approached the bunker, Hitler and Braun took steps to end their lives. On April 30, after orchestrating the demise of his beloved dog to avoid its capture, Hitler and Eva retreated to their rooms. They ultimately chose death over the degradation of surrender, sealing their fates with a poison capsule and a firearm.
