  <default_description>&quot;Whereas Bezymenski contends that Shirer &amp; Trevor-Roper say that Hitler's bones were never found, one Russian Private Churakov did turn up the bones of Hitler &amp; Eva Braun which were later subjected to an extensive autopsy under the Soviet Forensic Commission. They had committed suicide &amp; their mouths contained, along with the teeth &amp; bridgework validated by Hitler's dental laboratory technician, splinters of glass from the ampoule of cyanide. Much of this short book is also directed to discrediting the big lie that Hitler died a 'hero's death with a gun' altho one source claims he said 'If you think I will leave Berlin! I'd rather put a bullet in my head!' The smell of bitter almonds is all-pervasive &amp; there is a sad section on Frau Goebbel's disposition of her six children with the help of Hitler's first &amp; second physicians. Along with the bloodless depositions &amp; testimony, an inset of grim photographs, &amp; some reservations...Lev Bezymenski, a member of Marshal Zhukov's staff &amp; a journalist, sometimes calls up less creditable sources like Berin E. Gun's unnamed book on Eva Braun's (cf. p. 861) 'indirect yet important' testimony. There are also some cloudy remarks on why none of this material has been previously released &amp; one cannot help but wonder why it is now available 'with the knowledge of the Soviet authorities' for publication in England, France, Germany &amp; Italy as well as here.&quot;-Kirkus Review</default_description>
