This documentary is based on interviews conducted by the Russians of those closest to Hitler. This included his valet and his chauffeur. The interviews included torture, and every means to make sure the story being told was true. It included stories before the actual suicide, and instructions to burn his body so it could not be abused by the Russians or put on display.
In the end the Russians made a propaganda film showing that Hitler murdered Eva Braun and then couldn't shoot himself so also took a cyanide capsule. The driver was accused of shooting him in the head to give a more heroic interpretation to his death.
The conclusion however was that Hitler died in the bunker with his new wife. Their bodies were then burned. Hitler's skull was collected in a couple of pieces.
