Question: Where is hitler buried!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
hello

In 1969 Soviet journalist Lev Bezymensky's book on the SMERSH autopsy report was published in the west but because of earlier disinformation attempts historians may have thought it untrustworthy!. However in 1993 the KGB/FSB publicly released the autopsy records and other statements by former KGB members!. Drawing from these, historians reached a consensus about what happened to the bodies of Hitler and Braun!.

Red Army troops began storming the Chancellery at approximately 23:00, about 7 hours and 30 minutes after Hitler's death!. On 2 May the remains of Hitler, Braun and two dogs (thought to be Blondi and her offspring Wulf) were discovered in a shell crater by Ivan Churakov of the 79th Rifle Corps, to which a unit of SMERSH had been attached with orders to find Hitler's body!.

After the autopsy, which (contrary to public reports authorized by Stalin in 1945) recorded both gunshot damage to Hitler's skull and glass shards in his jaw, their remains were repeatedly buried and exhumed by SMERSH during the unit's relocation from Berlin to a new facility in Magdeburg where they (along with the charred remains of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and those of his wife Magda and their six children) were permanently buried in an unmarked grave beneath a paved section of the front courtyard and the location was kept highly secret!.

By 1970 the SMERSH facility (now controlled by the KGB) was scheduled to be handed over to the East German government!. Fearing the possibility any Hitler burial site might become a Neo-Nazi shrine, KGB director Yuri Andropov authorised a special operation to destroy the remains!. On 4 April 1970 a Soviet KGB team (which had been given detailed burial charts) secretly exhumed the bodies and thoroughly burned them before dumping the ashes in the Elbe river!.
