LONDON, June 9

"I can make no definite statement about Hitler's fate," said Marshal Zhukov, at a Press conference in Berlin, reports Reuters' correspondent. "It is very mysterious, as we haven't discovered a corpse which could be identified as Hitler's. He could take taken of! at the last minute, as an airfield was at his service." German General Staff diaries recorded that Hitler married Eva Braun two days before Berlin fell. She was with Hitler in a shelter on April 22. The commandant of Berlin, ColonelGeneral Berzarin, who was also present at the Press conference, said: "I think Hitler is hiding in Europe, possibly with General Franco." On the contrary, those who were close to Hitler say that he committed suicide. The burgomaster of Berlin, Arthur Werner, said: "We know Hitler's fate, but some people will say he is alive. We have found so many pants with Hitler's name sewn on them that it is becoming a standing joke with the Red Army. I am convinced that Goebbels and his wife and children are dead. Goebbels and his wife shot themselves after poisoning their children."
