Cloze / Reading And Memorizing Unit 9 The death of Hitler A Brief Introduction to the Text When the advancing Russians were approaching, Hitler knew he was doomed, so he began to make preparation to meet his and Eva Braun’s end. He was resolved not to allow themselves to be captured and executed by the Russians. He instructed his men to round up enough gasoline so as to burn up his and Eva’s bodies after they committed suicide. In the meantime, he, having had his last meal, assembled his staff and most intimate associates and said a private farewell to each person fro the last time. Then he and Eva retired to their quarters. A few people waited outside the door. After hearing a gun shot, they waited a short interval, entered the room and found their Fuehrer who once had strict control over their lives now lying dead on the couch. It was April 30, 1945, exactly 12 years and 3 months to the day Hitler had initiated the enormous power of the Third Reich. II.
