New Records Reopen Questions on Hitler's Niece Geli Raubal's 1931 Death
Newly uncovered archival records have reopened the nearly century-old mystery surrounding the 1931 death of Adolf Hitler's half-niece, Geli Raubal, who died from a gunshot wound in Hitler's Munich apartment. Officially ruled a suicide, recent findings by historian Harald Sandner suggest the death may have occurred a day earlier than previously recorded, placing Hitler in Munich at the time. This challenges the established timeline and raises questions about possible discrepancies in police records, though some historians remain skeptical of these claims.
