the next day hitler held his final staff conference, being told that the russians now were only a few blocks away. he had lunch as usual at 2 pm. he supervised the poisoning of his beloved dog and her puppies, and shortly after 3 pm he and braun bade farewell to the staff, and retired to their private room. they bit into cyanide capsules. as he did so, hitler also shot himself in the head.

埃娃．布劳恩是亚朵夫．希特勒的长期情妇。两人的关系大概始于一九三三年。一九四五年四月初，布劳恩从慕尼黑前往柏林的元首地堡，来到希特勒身边，不肯离去。苏联军队这时已经迫近。
四月二十八日，宣传部一个低级官员为希特勒和布劳恩主持婚礼，算是对布劳恩忠于希特勒始终不渝的最高奖赏。当时布劳恩三十三岁，希特勒则五十六岁。
第二天，希特勒举行最后一次参谋会议，知道苏军只在几个街区之外。他和平时一样，下午二时晋餐。他还亲自看着爱犬及其幼犬服毒死亡。三点钟之后不久，他和布劳恩跟各职员道别，一起回到私人的房间，咬破氰化物胶囊。希特勒同时向自己头颅开枪。
