Official: KGB chief ordered Hitler's remains destroyed

The head archivist of Russia's Federal Security Service finally confirmed that the KGB did, in fact, burn Hitler's remains under direct orders in 1970. 24 years after Hitler's body was secretly buried, a group of special KGB agents took part in an operation called "The Archives," where they burned the remains in a bonfire and threw them in a river. According to the documents, the Soviets burned the remains for fear that they would become a place of worship for supporters of fascist ideas.
