Description
English: Title: Dome, Creer and Shaffer, Reich Chancellery, Berlin, May 1945

Creator: Shaffer, Melvin C.
Date: May 1945
Place: Berlin, Germany
Part Of: http://digitalcollections.smu.edu/all/cul/mcs/
Description from Melvin C. Shaffer: Ralph Creer and Melvin Shaffer at the entrance to the Reich Chancellery, May 1945. Debris had been removed from the entrance by the Russians in order to enter and search for Hitler and his government. The famous bunker was here and the smell of death emanated from every direction. We searched for any remains of Hitler and photographed the entire structure. The Russians showed us where the body of Hitler had been burned and informed us that his remains had been removed. The area smelled of gasoline and burnt flesh. Only with the fall of the Soviet Union and the revelations about their work with the skeletal remains did I learn that in fact the remains were still there, buried a few inches beneath the debris.
