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According to historical documents, Adolf Hitler committed suicide.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.

Not at all. Windows Neptune was the codename for a home operating system based on Windows 2000 Professional. The project unfortunately couldn't be finished in time, and so Windows ME was released instead. Many of the ideas found in Windows Neptune were later integrated into Windows XP. An alpha ISO was leaked onto the internet, and can still be found on some warez sites. The system is quite buggy and unstable, however, so it serves as little more than a curiosity and an interesting footnote in Windows history.
Who is the sun goddess of japan?
Amaterasu (or Amateratsu) is a Shinto Sun goddess; she is the mythical ancestress of the royal family of Japan. Her full name is Amaterasu-o-mi-kami(天照大神) and it means glorious goddess who shines in the heavens.
Amaterasu was born from the eye of a primordial god Izanagi when he was purifying himself in a river. She became the ruler of High Celestial Plain (Takamagahara).
Kojiki, earliest Japanese sacred chronicle, recounts ancient tale, which is a version of a Missing Sun myth: When her unruly brother, storm god Susanowo, ravaged the earth and ruined his sister's rice fields, garden and temples, Amaterasu was so embarrassed that she retreated to a cave. The world was plunged into darkness. Other gods failed to make her come out.
Then goddess Ama-no-Uzume got an idea. She hung a mirror onto a nearby tree, organized a celebration and performed an erotic dance before the cave. It made other gods laugh so loud that Amaterasu got curious and peeked out. She saw her own reflection in the mirror. Other gods pulled her out and convinced her to return to the sky.
Later she sent her grandson Ninigi no Mikoto to pacify Japan; his great-grandson became the first emperor Jimmu Tenno. With him he had the sacred sword, jewel and mirror that became Japanese imperial regalia.
Amaterasu is also credited to creating a cultivation of rice and wheat, use of silkworms and weaving with a loom. Her most important shrine is located in Ise, Japan in the island of Honshu. The temple is torn down and rebuilt every twenty years. In the temple she is represented as a mirror.
She is celebrated every July 17 with street processions all over the country. Festivities in December 21, the winter solstice, celebrate her coming out of the cave.
Until the end of World War II, the Japanese royal family claimed descent from Amaterasu, and the emperor was officially considered divine.
