Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany during World War II, died by suicide. He killed himself on April 30, 1945, as the Allies closed in on Berlin. With the Soviet army advancing into Berlin and the war clearly lost, Hitler decided to take his own life to avoid capture and the inevitable humiliation and retribution that would have followed. His death marked the end of his dictatorial rule and was seen as a key moment in the conclusion of World War II in Europe.
