This original WW II newspaper front news section contains a bold banner headline: "HITLER IS DEAD" with photos, text, and a "first report" of the DEATH by suicide of ADOLPH HITLER, the leader of Nazi Germany. Adolf Hitler, chancellor and dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, committed suicide via a gunshot to the head on 30 April 1945 in the Führerbunker in Berlin after it became clear that Germany would lose the Battle of Berlin, which led to the end of World War II in Europe.As Soviet soldiers scoured the burning streets of Berlin above his head searching for him, on April 30, 1945 Adolf Hitler began his normal work routine that morning deep in the bunker under the Reich Chancellery building. Ten days before, he had emerged from the bunker into daylight on his birthday. He inspected, with a trembling hand, a group of boys sent to defend the city against the Red Army in the name of Hitler’s professed philosophy of racial superiority. On the April 29, he had completed his will and last political testament, and married his longtime mistress, Eva Braun. Word that Benito Mussolini had met his death in Italy arrived before lunchtime; Mussolini’s corpse, along that of his mistress, Clara Petacci, had been smashed in fury by a mob and hung upside down outside a gas station—a most ignoble end for the man whom Hitler credited with having taught him that a civilization’s decline could be reversed. The tee-totaling, vegetarian Hitler had a quiet last lunch, shook hands with the remaining staff, and that afternoon committed suicide with his wife on a couch in his private sitting room. Good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper front news section, NOT the entire newspaper. STEPHEN A.
