Sixty-five years ago,
on April 30, 1945, Hitler and his wife Eva Braun to end their lives in
an underground bunker after Berlin fell.
Shortly
thereafter, William Vandivert LIFE photographer was on scene to
photograph the city and destroyed the bunker itself. These pictures
never previously published is now available from the PD-LIFE Photo
Gallery
This is one excerpt
Photographer's notes:
With only candles to
illuminate their way, war correspondent checked sofa covered in blood
(see the dark stain on the arm of the sofa) located inside the bunker of
Hitler. PengetikannyaVandivert
wrote in a note: "Pix [correspondent] to see the sofa where Hitler and
Eva shot himself notes bloodstains on the arm chair in which Eva bloody
.. He sat at the far edge
.... Hitler sat in the middle
and fell forward, no darahdi sofa in the living room seating Hitler .. "Amazing things - but,
apparently, only about half right.
Historians are now
reasonably confident that the actual Braun commit suicide by biting
cyanide capsules, not by the fire - which means that the blood stains on
the couch that was probably the blood of Hitler, and not Eva Braun.
