The day before Hitler celebrated his 56<sup>th<\/sup> birthday with high ranking  Nazi officers in the confines of his underground bunker. It was obvious to all  there that the Russians would soon be at their door and many tried to convince  the Fuhrer to escape to the safety of his mountain top fortress. But Hitler  feared the risk of being captured on route and would not leave his bunker or Berlin.  He did however give permission for the other officers to leave if they so  wished. Many did escape including <\/span><span class=\"style106\">Hermann G&ouml;ring and Heinrich  Himmler, <\/span><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; \">but a few of  Hitler&rsquo;s personal staff would remain with him till the end. When the Russian  forces reached the outskirts of Berlin on this day in 1945 the majority of the  <a title=\"Germany\" href=\"https:\/\/www.earth-site.co.uk\/Education\/germany\">German<\/a> troops were made up of the Hitler Youth and older veterans. The race was  on for each of the Russian forces to be the one to take control of Berlin and  due to this many Russian soldiers took risks and live were needlessly lost. It  is believed that 70,000 Russian soldiers died in taking the Capital and in  seeking revenge for the destruction of Russia by the previous German invasions,  the Russians killed 50,000 German soldiers and civilians. Herman Goring sent a  telegram to Hitler suggesting that as Hitler&rsquo;s designated successor and with  Hitler surrounded that he should take control of the German forces. Hitler was  furious and he replied via telegram to say that he considered this an act of high  treason but he would spare Goring if he resigned and Goring Promptly obeyed.  Himmler on the other hand attempted to broker a deal of surrender of the German  forces to Western powers on the understanding that he would remain in control  of Germany after the war. His offer was not accepted especially because the  acts of mass murder committed at Himmler&rsquo;s command. On the 28<sup>th<\/sup> of  April news of Himmler&rsquo;s failed surrender attempt was released on the BBC. The  message was intercepted by German intelligence and when Hitler heard he was  heartbroken. He also received news of the execution of Long term friend and  <a title=\"Italy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.earth-site.co.uk\/Education\/italy\">Italian<\/a> Dictator Mussolini, whose body was left in the gutter to rot. To avoid  capture and a similar fait, Hitler committed suicide on the 30<sup>th<\/sup> of  April with his revolver while his wife of one day took a cyanide capsule. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-indent:36.0pt;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"line-height:115%; font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:14.0pt; \">On  the 21st of April  1934<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; \"> <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-indent:36.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; \">The famous  picture of the Loch Ness Monster was first published on the cover of news  papers after Dr Robert Kenneth Wilson claimed the image was genuine.
