Death of Adolf Hitler. Front page of the U.S. Armed Forces newspaper, Stars and Stripes, 2 May 1945. Adolf Hitler killed himself by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in his FÃ¼hrerbunker in Berlin.

That afternoon, in accordance with Hitler's prior instructions, their remains were carried up the stairs through the bunker's emergency exit, doused in petrol, and set alight in the Reich Chancellery garden outside the bunker.
