Goebbels’s Final Act

Joeseph Goebbels was Hiter’s propaganda minister. Born in 1897, joined the Nazi party in 1924, at number 8762. While Hitler was in prison, for the Beerhall Putsch, Goebbels’s helped run the party. Even when the Nazis could wear uniforms, he found clever was with uniting the groups by marching, wear cooking wear and paper hats on their heads, in an effort to get around the uniform ban that was enacted on them. This led to the young Joeseph Goebbel’s getting a key position in the Nazi party as the propaganda minister. He served his term till the very end.

In 1945 when it was time for Hitler to escape Joseph Goebbels’s would sacrifice himself and his family, just so the Reich could survive somewhere else. Goebbels became very depressing and apocalyptic, sounding on the radio during 1945 when the Reich was collapsing, but it was part of the plan.

In the final days of the wars fuel was running low, and the process of cremation was hard. Goebbels was going to use this to his advantage. Knowing that Hitler had an escape, his task was to fake Hitler’s death, as his final act.

He was going to fake Hitler’s death, while he escaped out of the bunker. With all the other poorly cremated bodies, it was going to be easy for them to do a good job on one to go in Hitler’s place. Goebbel’s also knew that as the war was ending, it would be a good idea for him to get his family ready for the part they were about to play in this act…their own suicides. Goebbels made the public believe that Hitler was trying to push him out of Berlin, so he could save what Germany had left those meager last few days. This was all a ploy to convince the public, that they were going out in a blaze, which Joeseph actually was.

The day before Hitler’s escape he got married in Germany, to Eva Braun, and the next day he would leave. A few days later, Joesph would have the guards orchestrate his final act during his funeral. He killed his wife and kids, and then did himself. However, the key to success in his final act was having himself be less cremated, than Hitler. This way he could be identified more easily than the person he was trying to hide.

A double went in Hitler’s place, who was most likely woman under 40. The dead lady was cremated much more thoroughly days before…just not thoroughly enough. After the Soviets captured Berlin they took the Remains away, for themselves, believing it was Hitler and Eva.
