yeoldenews:yesterdaysprint:The Bend Bulletin, Oregon, May 3, 1945 Okay so fun story. I had a history professor who did his thesis work in Germany right around the time the wall was coming down and somehow in the process managed to befriend a former KGB agent.Now he and the KGB agent got talking and somehow the conversation turned to WWII (as it does with history professors), and the KGB agent happened to mention that he had been on the team of agents tasked with disposing of the bodily remains of Hitler and a few other Nazi higher ups in the early 70s.According to him they were ordered to drive the ashes to a nearby river and dump them in, but it was cold out and everybody on the detail said screw that. My professor asked him what they did with the remains if they didn’t end up in the river. The KGB agent responded “We, how you say, flush?”So according to a second hand account from my former history professor the bodily remains of Adolf Hitler most likely ended their days being flushed down the toilet of a Soviet police station.I have no idea if the story is even the slightest bit true, but if it is I can’t think of a more fitting end. -- source link
