On April 30, 1945, holed up in a bunker under his headquarters
in Berlin, Adolf Hitler committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide
capsule and shooting himself in the head. Soon after, Germany unconditionally surrendered to the Allied forces, ending Hitler’s
dreams of a “1,000-year” Reich. He was 56.
