That he did not die at the time and place that tends to be identified in the historical record is one of the myths about Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 - April 30, 1945).

According to historical documents, Adolf Hitler committed suicide. He supposedly bit down on a cyanide capsule at the same time that he held a Walther PPK to his temple and fired. His body then was supposedly cremated. According to information in the archives of the former Soviet Union, Hitler's ashes ultimately were buried in a grave near Rathenow, in Brandenburg, only to be removed and scattered in the Elbe River in the 1970s.

Because no body ever was produced, the question regularly is raised as to whether Hitler really died in his underground bunker in Berlin or perhaps somewhere and sometime else.

Did Hitler actually want a race of all blonde hair blue-eyed people or is that a myth?

Hitler himself did not actually say that he wanted 'a race of all blonde haired and blue-eyed people' ... According to Hitler's Table Talk he found Himmler's preoccupation with blond hair and blue eyes faintly ridiculous and cranky.In other words, there were people around him who took this desperately seriously and he did not reject or criticize it in public so it it can't be dismissed as a 'myth'.

Did hitler hate himself for killing jews?

It is a complete myth that Hitler was a Jew. He was not, nor did he have Jewish parents. There are various false assertions about Hitler that have been spread over the years, but this one is the most puzzling, since there is no evidence that Hitler was in any way Jewish. As for why he killed the Jews, many books have been written and many theories have been expressed about why this one man held so much hatred and prejudice (and not just towards Jews-- in addition to the millions of Jews who died because of his policies, he also ordered the deaths of people who were mentally retarded or blind or deaf as well as political dissenters and those who refused to join the Nazi party); no answer is entirely satisfactory, but suffice it to say that Hitler found a scapegoat in the Jews, and he then used his powers of persuasion to convince ordinary Germans that eradicating the Jews would solve Germany's problems. (It is also a myth that Germany's problems were caused by the Jews, but Hitler was able to make that case, and six million Jews died as a result.)

Was Hitler himself a Jew?

No, that is just a myth, Hitler was not Jewish.AnswerNot necessarily true. Even Hitler didn't know for sure; he suspected that he had Jewish blood. His father's birth was recorded as illegitimate; his father's mother had left her job as a housekeeper in a Jewish household because she was pregnant with Hitler's father. As in many things, Hitler did not feel the need to comply with the strict rules for Nazi membership for showing proof of non-Jewish ancestry. He simply avoided any scrutiny of his ancestry.

How did Jesse Owens break the myth of the aryan race?

Jesse Owens came along during the 1936 Olympics which were being held in Germany between WW1 and WW2, and won four gold medals, beating all the German runners. Right in front of Hitler. Prior to this, Hitler had demanded that Germany dominated the Olympics, because they were on German soil but also because he wanted to prove the Aryan race superior. When Jesse Owens, a black man, set world records and obtained gold medals, he broke the myth of the Aryan race.
