...Perhaps the most exhaustive explanation of this forensic identification was the 1973 article The odontological identification of Adolf Hitler: Definitive documentation by X-rays, interrogations and autopsy findings published in Acta Odontologica Scandinavica. Its abstract concludes:


The accumulated evidence now provides definite odontologic proof that Hitler did in fact die, and that the Russians did indeed recover and autopsy the right body.

The details are far too myriad and involved to go into here, but claims that parts of the evidence on which this finding is based could have been faked strain credulity too far. The evidence is simply too firm, comes from too many sources, and includes physical evidence that could not have been faked, such as a very specific signature of periodontal bone breakdown and tooth by tooth variances in radiolucency. ...

Anybody know where I can get a copy of "Acta Odontologica Scandinavica" ?

From my understanding the Russians are alleged to have dragged the body outside and then set it on fire. I would also be interested in the autopsy reports ... as I was led to believe they did not exist and since the body was burned beyond recognition it seems unlikely that anyone made appositive ID of the body ... And since anyone in the bunker was said to have been killed I fail to see how "interrogation" would have yielded anything useful ... still I shall go online and look for the autopsy report.

And one has to wonder why the "definite odontologic proof" had to wait until 1973 a full 28 years after the incident ..
