The Death of Adolf Hitler Unknown Documents from Soviet Archives by Lev Bezymenski

The Death of Adolf Hitler Unknown Documents from Soviet Archives by Lev Bezymenski is one of the stranger books in my collection. This book originally published in English in 1969 contains supposedly the Soviet autopsy reports of Hitler, his wife and Goebbels his wife and children. Besides the documents we get the story of how the bodies were found as well as the identification and autopsys. The book is an interesting example of Soviet propaganda towards the West at the time. The author makes allusions to various dastardly deeds of the Western allies and NATO. It's considered to be more propaganda then history and should certainly be treated with a grain of salt. More of a conversation piece then perhaps anything else.
