. . . . "Adolf Hitler killed himself by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in his F\u00FChrerbunker in Berlin. His wife Eva (n\u00E9e Braun) committed suicide with him by taking cyanide. That afternoon, in accordance with Hitler's prior instructions, their remains were carried up the stairs through the bunker's emergency exit, doused in petrol, and set alight in the Reich Chancellery garden outside the bunker."@en .
