About this Item
A rare first edition book in the UK. The Death of Adolf Hitler-Unknown documents from the Soviet archives-form the basis of this remarkable investigation by Soviet journalist Lev Bezymenski, who served as an interpreter in the Battle of Berlin. The book, originally written in German, gives details of the purported Soviet autopsies of Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun, Joseph and Magda Goebbels, their children, and General Krebs. All of these individuals are recorded as having been subjected to cyanide poisoning; contrary to the Western conclusion (and the accepted view of historians) that Hitler died by a suicide gunshot. The book's release was preceded by various contradictory reports about Hitler's death, including Much of the information presented in the book about how Hitler died (namely by poisoning or a coup de grāce) has been discredited, including by the author, as propaganda. Hitler's body was burned almost completely to ashes, meaning that there would be no corpse to conduct an autopsy upon. Only the Soviet description of Hitler's dental remains, consisting of a golden bridge and a mandibular fragment with teeth, is regarded as reliable; the book contains many previously unreleased monochrome photographs. Unmarked green boards with price-clipped dust jacket in good condition with slight tear by lower spine. Protected with loose cellophane wrapper. Some slight foxing to top edge of book pages, first flyleaf is stamp embossed. Size: 150mm x 230mm 114 pages. Seller Inventory # 23
