'Hitler skull' revealed as female

[Andrew of Ware]

A bone fragment believed to be part of Adolf Hitler's skull has been revealed as being that of an unidentified woman, US scientists have said.

The section of bone - marked with a bullet hole - was used to support the theory that Hitler shot himself.

The report says that the woman was aged between 20 and 40, so could it possibly be Eva Braun who was 33 when she died? However, she is supposed to have committed suicide by biting on a cyanide pill. Could the bullet hole have been made after death?

Back in the 80's the infamous tabloid Weekly World News claimed that Hitler was a woman. What do you know, they were right! Weekly World News wasn't just making stuff up!

So I guess Bat Boy is real and Hilary Clinton really did adopt a baby space alien and that guy I saw at the Seven Eleven really IS Elvis.

This of course means that they saved the wrong brain.

They also claimed that Abraham Lincoln was a woman. And that Saddam Hussein married Osama Bin Laden and they adopted a shaved chimp, but that's another matter entirely.

The assertion by American researchers that Hitler might have escaped from Berlin because a skull fragment in a Moscow archive was not his but a young woman’s is rich in paradox. Stalin went to great lengths in 1945 to conceal the fact that Hitler’s body had been identified by pathologists working for Smersh, the Soviet military counterintelligence agency. Stalin even misled his own commander in chief, Marshal Georgi Zhukov, demanding to know why he had failed to find Hitler’s corpse. And Pravda declared that rumors of the discovery of Hitler’s body were a fascist provocation.

This things actually became pretty polarized on the other side of the lines. Let me quote:

http://www.gazeta.ru/science/2009/09/29_a_3267342.shtml (this is actually an openly anti-Putin source, and most visited news site in Russian Internet)

А вот заместитель директора Государственного архива РФ Владимир Козлов сомневается в реальности исследований Ника Беллантони и Линды Стросбах.

«В последние четыре года человек с таким именем – Беллантони – в архиве не был. Никто из руководства, из тех, кто дает разрешения на такого рода вещи, этого имени не знает. Описанная в прессе процедура – в течение часа при помощи ватных тампонов он держал в руках единицу хранения – это для архивистов святотатственное действие, никто из архивистов ему бы так действовать не разрешил», – заявил Козлов.

Замдиректора Архива, который является ученым-историком и ряд своих трудов посвятил исследованиям, связанным с Гитлером, рассказал РИА «Новости», что никто достоверно не знал, принадлежал ли хранящийся череп именно фюреру.

«В материалах дела, которое хранится у нас, – шесть томов, некоторые вещдоки, включая этот фрагмента черепа, – совершенно четко написано: «Фрагмент черепа, предположительно, Гитлера».

Поэтому объявлять, что мы считали этот фрагмент, найденный спустя год на месте кремации трупов, принадлежавшим Гитлеру – это фальшивое утверждение, – считает Козлов. – Если кто-то хочет доказать, что это не так, ему надлежит опровергнуть реальные доказательства, а не фальшивые. Не надо никому приписывать утверждения, что этот фрагмент является единственным материальным доказательством самоубийства Гитлера. А как быть с мостом, с фрагментом челюсти?»

However, the vice-chair of the State Archive of Russian Federation Vladimir Kozlov doubts the reality of the research of Nick Bellatoni and Lisa Stronbach:

"During the last four years, there were no visitors with the last name Bellatoni in state archive. None of the heads authorised to issue permissions [to handle Hitler's skull] know nothing about it. The procedure, as described in press, - handling the storage unit with cotton tampons for an hour - is blasphemy for archivists, noone would have allowed him to act like that"

The vice-chair, who's a historian, and who chose Hitler as a subject in a number of his studies, told the news agency, that noone knew for sure whether the said piece of skull was Hitler's or not.

"In Hitler's case, which is being stored here in six volumes, as well as some evidence, it is clearly said: "A skull fragment, presumably belonging to Hitler"

It is incorrect to claim that we ever considered the fragment, found on a cremation site one year after the fact, truly belonging to Hitler - it's a false statement" - considers Kozlov. - "If anyone wants to claim otherwise [that it disproves Hitler's death], that person should try to disprove the real evidence. What about his jaws, his dentals?"

So, does that mean we can blame the Holocaust on PMS?
