How did Hitler die?
Adolph Hitler committed suicide in “the bunker” along with his newlywed wife (Eva Braun) and other loyal staffers. Eva, among others, took poison and Adolph shot himself. Even children were put to sleep before the other loyal ones took their lives. Sources: Information derived from many sources, too numerous to mention.
The version I recall is that he swallowed poison and/or then he doused himself with gasolineand burned himself. It would have been considered a matter of “honour” to not be taken by the hands of the enemy.

This was too much for Hitler. He asked everyone except Wilhelm Keitel, Hans Krebs, Alfred Jodl, Wilhelm Burgdorf, and Martin Bormann to leave the room. He then started to jump up and down while he ranted and raved. His face turned white and purple in turns and he shook all over. His voice kept breaking, as he screamed out the words “disloyalty,” “cowardice,” “treachery,” and “insubordination.” Hitler’s outburst culminated in an oath that he would remain in Berlin, with the Berliners. He claimed that he would lead the fight personally. Hitler then returned to his chair and colla
