They finished their farewells and retired to their rooms. Outside in the passageway, Dr. Goebbels, Bormann and a few others waited. In a few moments a revolver shot was heard. They waitedfor a second one, but there was only silence. After a decent interval they quietly entered the Fuehrer's quarters. They found the body of Adolf Hitler sprawled on the sofa dripping blood.He had shot himself in the mouth. At his side lay Eva Braun. Two revolvers had fallen to the floor, but the bride had not used hers. She had swallowed poison.
告別后，希特勒和新娘回到自己的房間。戈培爾博士、鮑曼和其他幾個人在外面過道中等候著，不一會功夫，聽到一聲左輪槍響。他們等待第二聲槍響，但只有一片寂靜。略等片刻之后，他們輕輕走進元首的房間。他們發現阿道夫· 希特勒的尸體伸開四肢躺在沙發上，流著鮮血。他的子彈穿過口腔。在他旁邊躺著愛娃· 勃勞恩。兩支左輪手槍掉在地板上，但新娘沒有開槍。她吞服了毒藥。
It was 3:30 PM on Monday, April 30, 1945, ten days after Adolf Hitler's fifty-sixth birthday, and twelve years and three months to the day since he had become Chancellor of Germany and had instituted the Third Reich. It would survive him but a week.
當時是1945年４月３０日星期一下午３點３０分，是他５６歲生日后的第１０天，離他當上德國總理和成立第三帝國正好12年零3個月。他死了僅一個星期，第三帝國就覆滅了。
