With Germany lying in ruins after six devastating years of war, and with defeat imminent, Hitler decided to take his own life. Early on the morning on April 29, 1945, in a civil ceremony in his bunker, Hitler married his mistress of many years, Eva Braun. The next day at a little after 3:30 P.M., they bit into thin glass vials of cyanide. As he did so, Hitler also shot himself in the head with a 7.65 mm Walther pistol. The handful of remaining Nazi faithfuls trooped uneasily into his underground study, surveyed his still-warm remains-slouched on a couch, with blood trickling from the sagging lower jaw, and a gunshot wound in the right temple-and sniffed the bitter-almonds smell hanging in the air.

Wrapped in a gray army blanket, he was carried up to the shell-blasted Chancellery garden. Gasoline was slopped over him in a crater and ignited while his staff hurriedly saluted and backed down into the shelter. Hitler knew that he had lost the war, and knew if he got captured that he would be tortured or killed.

Hitler's wife's name was Eva and no, they did not shoot each other. She took cyanide and Adolf took a bullet.

It is purported and generally accepted that he (along with his wife Eva Braun) committed suicide by poison and self-inflicted gun shot.

There is however a theory that he and his wife may have escaped to South America, where Hitler may have died of complications related to Parkinson's disease sometime in the late 1950's, but mainstream historians do not give this theory much weight.
