Hitler skull is female

"Her Hitler" , HISTORIANS were rocked after a DNA test showed Hitler’s skull to be from a WOMAN
HISTORIANS were rocked yesterday after a DNA test showed Hitler's skull to be from a WOMAN.

The discovery was made by an expert given access to the Fuhrer's remains by Russia.

Last night it cast doubt on whether the Nazi tyrant really did commit suicide in his Berlin bunker in April 1945.

For 64 years history books have stated the World War II monster took a cyanide pill aged 56 and shot himself as the Red Army closed in.


Bone of contention ... skull with bullet hole

The Russians later dug up a burnt and buried corpse - its head sporting a bullet hole - which they declared was his.

In 1970 the KGB finally cremated it, saving only the jawbone and a fragment from the skull.

US archaeologist Nick Bellantoni flew to Moscow after being granted permission to examine the artefacts in the state archive - including bits of the bunker's bloodstained sofa - for one hour.

He not only discovered the skull was female but also that it was from someone much YOUNGER.

He said: "The bone seemed very thin - male bone tends to be more robust. It corresponds to a woman between the ages of 20 and 40."

Hitler's lover Eva Braun, who also took cyanide, was 33. But Dr Bellantoni said: "There is no report of her having shot herself or having been shot afterwards. It could be anyone's."
