The Figaro tells the amazing story of Adolf Hitler’s skull

The French newspaper “Le Figaro” reported that it had seen the remains of the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, who was transported by the Soviets from Berlin after his suicide and are still preserved with them in an old building of the Russian State Archives in Moscow.

Alan Barley, the newspaper’s correspondent in Moscow, said that one feels dizzy while seeing the opinion of the eye owes two plastic gloves showing in front of him the skull of Adolf Hitler, “the last existing human piece of that dictator who set fire to the whole of Europe and shed blood and ordered (the final solution),” as he put it. .

In a lengthy report on this topic, the author highlighted two issues that he described as astonishing. The first is formal, namely that the cut of Hitler’s skull consisting of the left parietal bone with a small portion of the right parietal and occipital bone is preserved in a simple and transparent plastic disc box. the lid.

As for the second remark that caught Barley’s attention and said that the body was chilling out, it is the presence of a hole with a diameter of 8 mm, which is still visible on the surface of the skull shrapnel, which, according to the writer, the bullet that Hitler fired from one of his personal pistols to his head.

The author described the last moments before Hitler’s suicide and the subsequent collapse of the Reich (German Empire), which would “last a thousand years,” according to what Hitler had planned.

The writer mentioned that those close to the Nazi leader were hit under the weight of the bombs in a manner similar to mass madness, especially after the Soviet forces under the command of General Vasily Chuikov

Suicide

In this atmosphere filled with anger and despair, the Nazi leader dictated his will to one of his writers, saying, “My wife and I chose death over the shame of defeat and surrender, and we recommend that we be immediately burned in this place where I accomplished most of my daily work during the 12 years I spent serving my people.”

Regarding the reason for his suicide, Barley said that on the day of his suicide, on April 30, 1945, Hitler had heard that his ally, the fascist leader, Benito Mussolini, had been arrested in northern Italy with his companion Clara Petacci, and shot them both before they were hung upside down in front of the masses in Milan.

The writer saw that Mussolini’s fate represented an obsession for Hitler, citing Sergei Mironenko, scientific director of the Russian State Archives, as saying that “Hitler was obsessed with the crazy idea that the then Soviet leader Joseph Stalin wanted to capture him alive and put him in a cage and make people all over Russia see him.” in this picture”.

To reinforce this, according to Mironenko, the Russians found in the bunker where Hitler was hiding before his suicide, “a portable laboratory to detect gases, as Hitler believed that the Soviets would catch him by sleeping …”.

The writer adds that the bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun, the woman whom he married a day before their suicide together, were cremated as soon as they were discovered on the afternoon of April 30, 1945, by pouring some kerosene on them, before covering them with earth in a hole left by a Soviet shell in the gardens

Hypotheses

The writer mentioned that many of the “hypotheses” for the end of Hitler have been circulated since his disappearance, and there have also remained ambiguous issues that have not been completely clear about these events, and it is related to the way in which Hitler died, and did he actually die on April 30 in Berlin? Are his preserved remains original or fake, later made by the Soviets to ensure the exclusivity of this priceless spoil? The remnants of the enemy leader have great moral value in the Russian collective imagination to establish themselves as the true victors over the Nazis.

Barley prefers Hitler’s suicide story, which says that he swallowed a cyanide capsule before shooting him in the head while sitting next to him, his wife Eva Braun, who also committed suicide by swallowing cyanide at the same moment.

But he says it cannot be ruled out that Hitler, who was suffering from Parkinson’s disease and had his hands shaking, asked one of his aides to shoot him, but Meronenko excludes this last hypothesis, since if someone else had shot him, “he would have aimed elsewhere,” Like the heart, for example. “

In this regard, the writer quotes Philippe Charlier, a French forensic and anthropologist, as saying that he could not confirm the hypothesis of Hitler’s suicide, but on the other hand he is convinced that the remains are in the Russian archive building of the Nazi leader.

Barley said that this famous French forensic and anthropologist was chosen by the Kremlin to provide between 2016 and 2017 the only legal expertise conducted to confirm the Russian narrative, since the test conducted by Soviet forensic scientists in 1946.

The writer said that the Russians chose Charlier not only because of what was known about him in terms of scientific experience and integrity, but also because he was neither a Russian nor an American, and he was the one who conducted with great efficiency the legal experience of well-known men such as: Richard the Lionheart, Diane de Poitiers, Henry IV, and Descartes, Marat, and Napoleon I.

Charlier asserts that “there is no morphological and historical argument against the fact that this skull is Hitler.”

Charlier examined other pieces of Hitler’s body, including the false teeth that he had, saying, “Our study showed that these were indeed original remains that he had not tampered with, and also allowed us to

The writer pointed out that the remains of Hitler – especially his skull – remained from the beginning at the heart of the geopolitical rivalries between the Allies, especially since this skull was not found by the Soviets until a year after Hitler’s disappearance.

But he mentioned that there are people who still believe that Hitler did not commit suicide in the first place, but fled to South America.

Among the things that the writer said that still represent a “real mystery” is that the Soviet Union, but even Russia after it, did not officially announce the killing of Hitler, and Mironenko believes that Stalin, at least, did so because he saw that it was in his interest not to do so to leave room to promote the idea that The West welcomed the Nazi leader and sheltered.
