Best Answer

Adolf Hitler committed suicide with his wife on April 30th 1945 in his Berlin bunker. His remains were discovered by the Russians and buried in a secret location in Magdeburg. They were later dug up again and burned. The ashes were scattered. So the answer is: he is not buried.

The place is unknown. His corpse was disposed of by the Soviet Army. The Allies were keen not to provide any 'place of pilgrimage.'

Hitler does not have a grave, his body was cremated and his ashes was thrown in the Elbe river in Germany.

As the soviet Army approached Berlin, Hitler instructed his adjutant to burn both his body and Eva Hitler (nee Braun)'s body.

Hitler and Eva's remains were apparently discovered on May 4 but then returned to the ground as apparently the discovering Russians believed Hitler had already been found. When it emerged Hitler hadn't been discovered his body was quickly exhumed by SMERSH, a department of the Soviet 3rd Army and taken to a clinic in the town of Buch.

Kete Hoiserman, the assistant of Hitler's dentist, had been captured and located X-ray files. An examination was carried out on May 8, the Russians positively identified Hitler's dentures, and then issued a report.

In July, Stalin told his Allies at the Potsdam Conference that Hitler's body had not been found. The British government launched their own investigation but when published Hugh-Trevor Roper's report focused on the circumstances surrounding the death and not Hitler's body; the NKVD opened a new investigation in 1946 and uncovered a skull fragment and the report of May 8 had specified that "a skull fragment appears to be missing."

Hitler and Goebbels and their wives along with the Goebbels' six children were interred in Finov, exhumed once more when SMERSH moved, they were exhumed again on May 15, following another move, then buried totally unmarked on the outskirts of a small town called Rathenow in Brandenburg then were later moved to Klausnerstrasse in Magdeburg to the courtyard of a building where the 79th Rifle Division were based.

On March 13th, 1970, with a handover of control regarding the Magdeburg building imminent, the head of the KGB Yuri Andropov wrote "[Given the] possibility of construction or other earth moving operations on the location that may result in the discovery of the burial site, I hereby suggest that the remains be exhumed and destroyed by incineration."

In the early hours of April 5 the remains were exhumed for a ninth time. They were cremated and the ashes were mixed with charcoal, then cast into the River Ehle, near Biederitz.

As part of a 2000 exhibition in Moscow entitled The Agony of the Third Reich: The Retribution a fragment of skull, claimed by the Russians to be Hitler's, was displayed.

Originally buried near Brandenburg, Germany, by the Soviets along with Eva Braun, Joseph Goebbels, his wife, his children, and Hitler's dogs. In 1970, the Soviets dug up the grave and cremated all the remains, and then scattered them in the Elbe River.

Hitler has not been given a grave marker for fear of worship by fanatic followers of Nazism. However, there is a memorial stone in Braunau am Inn in Austria (Hiter's birthplace) that bears the following inscription:

FÜR FRIEDEN FREIHEIT

UND DEMOKRATIE

NIE WIEDER FASCHISMUS

MILLIONEN TOTE MAHNEN

This loosely translates to "For Peace, Freedom//And Democracy//Never Again Fascism//Millions Of Dead Remind [Us]".
Hitler's body was thrown outside of the bunker burnt to ashes in Berlin

Hitler had himself cremated after he committed suicide. He likely did this out of fear that the same thing would be done to his body as Mussolini's. Mussolini's body was mistreated, shall we say, after his eventual captured As a result, Hitler effectively has no locatable remains.
