Scientists and historians had long thought it to be conclusive proof that Hitler shot himself in the head after taking a cyanide pill on 30 April 1945 rather than face the ignominy of capture.
The piece of skull – complete with bullet hole – had been taken from outside the Fuhrer’s bunker by the Russian Army and preserved by Soviet intelligence.
Now the story of Hitler’s death will have to rewritten as a mystery – and conspiracy theorists are likely to latch on to the possibility that he may not have died in the bunker at all.

Hello
Forensic scientists have enough of Hitler’s personal belongings, etc., to be able to get enough DNA to compare to this skull. His sex should really not make a difference as to his crimes against humanity, but what a surprise if his DNA was not male. Maybe female forensics should get involved before females are blamed for Hitler too (I mean besides the apple….).

Who did they DNA test? Adolf Hitler was his adopted name. His real last name was Schikelgruber. The Hitler family line would not be blood relatives. Look it up…
