Moscow Reveals
Identification
Of Hitler Body
BY JOSEPH w. GRIGG

BERLIN, June 6. (UP1 - Adolf
Hitlers body has been found and
identified with fair certainty, it was
learned from high Russian mill
tary source here Wednesday.
The body, smoke -blackened and
charred, was one of four discovered
in tie ruins of the great under
ground fortress beneath the new
Reichschancellery after the fall OF
Berlin.
These four bodies, any one Of
which answered pretty well to Hit
ler's description, were removed and
carefully examined by Russian army
pi7ysieians All were badly burned
from the flame tfIrowers with
which the Red army soldiers finally
cleared out the underground COM
mand pest where Hitler and his
leading Nazis made their last ditch
stand
REASONABLY CERTAIN
After careful examination of
teeth and other characteristics, the
Russians singled out one body which
they believed almost certainly is
that of the Nazi fuehrer.
Asked why no official announce
ment of the discovery has been
made yet by Moscow. this Russian
source said az long as any element
of uncertainty exists the Russians
do not wish to state definitely that
Hitler's body has been found.
The source added. however, that
there seems little doubt that this
actually is the corpse Of Hitler.
Examination of the body showed
that Hitler almost certainly died
of poisoning. Whether this was self
administered or whether Hitler was
killed by one of his henchmen there
is no sure means of knowing.
1t will be recalled, however, that
Russian sources recently reported
that Hitler died of an injection
given him by his physician, DR..
Morel, after he had been insane
and partly paralzed fer several
days.

The dispute which delayed the

the word nationals in article 10:
