Aide Who Burned Hitler's Body Dies at 86
BERLIN -- Otto Guensche, an aide to Adolf Hitler who burned the Nazi dictator's body to keep it from the advancing Soviets in the final days of World War II, has died. He was 86.

An SS officer and a member of Hitler's inner circle, Guensche spent the last hours with the Nazi leader in the Fuehrer bunker in Berlin before Hitler and his companion Eva Braun committed suicide on April 30, 1945. Guensche lived quietly in West Germany after the war following several years in Soviet captivity.
