Reports of Adolf Hitler’s death filled newspapers around the globe, but was he *really* dead? Like, for real??

Misinformation from the Soviet Union left people all over the world fearing that Hitler might have escaped the bunker. Soon, British and American intelligence stepped in to conduct their own investigations. Over time, the truth emerged. (But Hitler didn’t, because he was super dead.)
