30 abr 1945 año - Adolf Hitler's Death

Descripción:

Adolf Hitler had been a target for a long time. It wasn’t just America who was targeting him, it was the whole world. He was taking so many innocent lives, and many people wanted him killed. The Soviets were gaining on him, so for protection, he was staying in a bunker under the Reich Chancellery. Just the day before his death, he married Eva Braun. Also the day before he wrote his will, knowing that his days were coming to an end. On April 30, Hitler and Eva took cyanide pills and Hitler shot himself in the head. No one knows the real reason why he killed himself, but there are some theories. Some think Hitler ended his life because he thought that death was better than dishonor. Maybe he thought that people would think he wasn’t a strong leader if he gave himself to the enemy. Involved in Hitler’s death were Hitler and Eva, who both killed themselves. This event was important because Hitler was the main target during World War II. Hitler’s death forced Germany to surrender, which made it easier for the Allies to win.
