- <body>
- <p> Adolf Hitler had died more deaths in one week than any man
- in history.
- </p>
- <p> Said the Hamburg radio: Hitler died "at his command post in
- the Reich Chancellery, fighting the Russians to the last."
- </p>
- <p> Said Swedish Count Folke Bernadotte, who had it from
- Heinrich Himmler on April 24: Hitler had a cerebral hemorrhage,
- might already be dead.
- </p>
- <p> Said Dr. Hans Fritzsche, captured Goebbels deputy: Hitler
- had committed suicide.
- </p>
- <p> Said the Tokyo radio: Hitler was killed by an exploding
- shell as he walked down the steps of his Berlin Chancellery.
- </p>
- <p> Said the Paris-Presse: After a quarrel with Hitler over the
- continuation of the war, other Nazi leaders blew him to bits by a
- bomb placed in his underground fortress in the Tiergarten on
- April 21.
- </p>
- <p> Said the London Daily Express: Hitler is on his way to Japan
- in a U-boat.
- </p>
- <p> Said United Press war correspondent Edward W. Beattie Jr.,
- liberated last week after eight months in Nazi captivity: Germans
- believe that Hitler was killed in last year's bomb plot.
- </p>
- <p> Soviet soldiers dug deep into the rubble of the Reich
- Chancellery for Hitler's corpse. They did not find it. Dr.
- Fritzsche explained to them: "The body has been hidden in a place
- impossible to find."
- </p>
- <p> But Russia was determined to find Hitler, dead or alive.
- Said Pravda: "Whether he escaped to hell, to the devil's paws, or
- to the arms of fascist protectors, still he is no more. We shall
- find out what really happened to him. And if he escaped, we shall
- find him, no matter where he is."
