This is a very morbid question, but I'm curious to know what they did with Hitler's body after his suicide. Is it buried in a grave somewhere?

Hi Sarai,
I THINK I remember that he and his Mistress and some aides were buried in the underground bunker, and the bodies were never recovered? Was not the bunker blown up or set afire or something like that? Boy, I'm almost embarassed to not know.

Well, I saw a documentary on TLC about it. As I remember it, it pretty much follows the info. provided HERE
After the Russians buried the bodies of Hitler and his wife, they were dug up and relocated at least twice. Now the russians have no idea where they are, even though they dug up an acre or so of ground looking for where they were supposed to be. There is also a russian museum that has a SKULL fragment, with a bullet hole through it, purported to be Hitler's. The Russians, for whatever reason, say they have a piece of Hitler's jaw, that could positively confirm his death.

He just ended up somewhere under the rubble of Berlin. Nobody knows exactly where. And I think that's very good. Imagine there was a grave somewhere and it would become some gathering site for neonazis. That would be a problem we really don't want to have!

Some stuff about the bunker:

They found and buried what they believed to be Hitler and Eva Brauns' bodies, buried them together. But I don't think anyone is sure that his body was ever found and there are always the rumors that he lives in a condo in the Bahamas with Elvis.
Personally, I like the one where Michael Jackson bought the corpse...
