Adolf Heidler died a hero's death, as did his wife.
Hitler wasn't killed, he killed himself, and was taken outside the bunker to be burned along with Eva in a crater hole in the courtyard by a German sergeant. Hitler used his gold-plated Walther PPK with "A.H." engraved on the pearl handle grips to put a bullet into his brain.
