Hitler and his wife called Eva Braun whom he had married only two days before, committed their double suicide in a bunker 55 feet below the chancellery which was his head quarters as chancellor.
It was a bunker that was self sufficient with its own water and electricity supply. It is believed he swallowed a cyanide capsule and then shot himself with pistol, as his "1000 -year" Reich collapsed above him, with the Red army just a day away.
It was "C Presidents Lincoln and Johnson" who wanted Reconstruction policy to be the most forgiving of the former Confederate states, since they wanted the nation to heal as quickly as possible.
