Features: Since 1945, due to the Iron Curtain and the Cold War, the truth behind one of the most mysterious events of our time—the death of Adolf Hitler—has been concealed. Ada Petrova and Peter Watson were fortunate enough to gain access to the Russian Hitler archives, specifically File 1-G-23, also known as the "Operation Myth" file. This file was not made public when Berlin was liberated in May 1945, and even the Russian authorities kept it secret, never disclosing it. Through the Myth File, Petrova and Watson uncovered many previously unknown details: unpublished trials; new court evidence; photographs from Hitler's private albums; over 30 watercolor paintings drawn by Hitler in his youth, and more. Excitingly, they also examined Hitler's skull, which still bore a bullet hole in one bone, clearly indicating the manner of his death. This book is not only an exposé but also a work of forensic investigation. Since 1945, historians, soldiers, doctors, and weapons experts have tried to uncover the truth behind Hitler's death. This book seems to bring an end to the "search for the cause of death."
