29 April

On 29 April 1945, just after midnight, Adolf Hitler married Eva Braun. He then dictated his final "Will and Political Testament", in which he blamed the Jews for starting World War II, and named Admiral Donitz as his successor. He and his new wife committed suicide the next day.

Later in the afternoon of the 29th, Joseph Goebbels and his wife had a party for their six children at the Berlin Bunker. (PROSE: The Shadow in the Glass)

In 1968, Pravda reported that the "despoliation" of the Red Square in Moscow — in reality caused by the Revolution Man, not the Americans as they thought — might force the Soviet Union to retaliate if it should happen again. (PROSE: Revolution Man)
