Is it true that Adolf Hitler's death was confirmed as suicide in 1945?
Yes. Multiple reference sources state that Adolf Hitler committed suicide in Berlin on 30 April 1945, with an official German inquiry concluding there was no doubt he took his own life. A few sources note lingering disputes over the exact method and the timing of formal confirmation.
