The man responsible for the deaths of millions in Europe, Adolf Hitler committed suicide with a .32 ACP PPK. His wife of one day, Eva Braun, also killed herself. Both deaths occurred around 3.30 p.m..
Their bodies were taken outside of the bunker, liberally doused with gasoline, and burned in a pit.
The Red Army was less than 500m from the Führerbunker. Soviet troops reached the Reichstag.
Karl Dönitz and Joseph Goebbels took on Hitler's former roles as Head of State and Head of Government of Germany in accordance with his wishes.
Such was the engine of the German state that, even though the Nazis would never have come to power without Hitler, and the war would never have occurred without Hitler, the war nonetheless continued on without him.
The Battle of Bautzen ended in a localized German victory.
The U-879, U-1107 and U-326 were all sunk.
Actors Osvaldo Valenti and Luisa Ferida were killed by Italian partisans due to their links to fascism.
