Some Quarters Doubt Manner of Hitler's Death
Hitler was portrayed as dying dramatically in Berlin at the Reich Chancellery amid Wagnerian music and a broadcast from Grand Admiral Doenitz declaring himself Hitler's successor. Western officials expressed skepticism, with some dubbing the claim a Nazi ruse and Allies demanding proof of Hitler’s body after surrender. Doenitz framed the continuation of the war as a fight against Bolshevism, praising Hitler's sacrifice while omitting Himmler and other leaders.
