itler’s Remains Were Destroyed on KGB Orders, Interfax Reports
Dec. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Adolf Hitler’s remains were burned
and dumped into an East German river by Soviet agents 25 years
after the end of World War II, Interfax reported, citing Vasily
Khristoforov, the Federal Security Service’s chief archivist.
The remains of Hitler, his companion Eva Braun and the
family of Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels were destroyed
in April 1970 on the secret orders of then-KGB chief Yuri
Andropov, the Russian news agency said today. Andropov went on
to become Soviet leader from 1982 until his death in 1984.
The Soviets were concerned that graves of Third Reich
leaders might one day attract Nazi sympathizers, Interfax said.
The remains were burned and dumped into the Biederitz River,
outside the eastern city of Magdeburg, according to the news
service.
