April 5th 1970: Adolf Hitlers final "departure" on Pig Bridge
This was the exact Site where Hitler ended up at all.
The remains of the bodies of Hitler, Eva Braun and the Goebbels Family were burried for the fifth time (Garden Reichschancellery / Berlin-Buch / Finow / Rathenow) in Magdeburg somewhere in the Garden of the Property Westendstr. 36 (today Klausener Str. 23) and rested there for 24 years from January 13th 1946 - April 4th 1970!
On order of KGB Chief Andropow the bodies had to be removed before the estate was handed over from the Soviets to former East German authorities on April 4th 1970.
On an uncultivated area in the vicinity of the village Schönebeck the remains of the skeletons were cremated again on April 5th 1970 by a KGB Team after being removed from their grave.
Finally the KGB Team stopped on a small bridge next to the Village Biederitz (most probably on the so called "Pig Bridge"...which would bear some irony) and scattered the ashes into a small river called Ehle on April 5th 1970.
