During Hitler's last days in Berlin, he would regularly eat lunch with Traudl Junge and Gerda. After the war, Traudl recalled Gerda asking Hitler if he would leave Berlin. This was firmly rejected by Hitler. Gerda recalled that Hitler made it clear in conversation that his body must not fall into the hands of the Soviets. He would shoot himself, and wanted to be cremated "without a trace". Eva Braun said she would take cyanide poison. At one of these meal time conversations, Hitler gave Gerda a cyanide ampoule for use.
