The capturing Soviet agents would not have touched a hair on his head. He would have been humanely treated and then loving re-educated and made into a productive and remorseful communist, who aspired to make the world a better place.
Or it would have been a spectacular show trial followed by a Kim Jong Il type execution! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dude probably had covert cyanide pills on him. Overt Suicide Pills, Covert Suicide Pills, & Orders to his SS Bodyguards to NEVER allow him to be taken alive. I imagine the Soviets would declare Hitler was definitely killed (artillery strike or such) to end questions about "Where is He?" Then with Time & Secrecy - The Soviets would have tortured & shaken him down for all the "secrets" & "riches" of the Reich. |

there was a fiction book that had a small SS team extract Hitler and keep him in a secret lair while Stalin had teams hunting for him, I think the book was The Berkut? Anyway, by the end the Red Army captured him, and the epilogue was that Stalin secretly kept him in a cage suspended in the air, in his basement, where Stalin would go downstairs to mock him every so often, and left instructions to kill Hitler upon his death.
I'm pretty confident that's what would have happened if the Soviets had captured Hitler. |

Yes he had cyanide capsules but the question was what would have happened had he been captured by the Soviets? |

Somewhere I read that Stalin was planning on keeping him on public display in a cage in the Kremlin. I don't know if this is true or not. It may be something I read in a novel.

Would have 'died' before ANY kind of trial. Stalin could not risk Hitler telling the Allies what their agreement was prior to Hitler turning on Russia.
BS treacherous politicians then, just like now. |

No trial.
No announcement to the world. Nobody wanted him alive. To much of a rallying point for the radicals. Nobody wanted to make him a martyr either. The best solution would be that he was a coward that was to scared to shoot himself and had to take cyanide in the end. So the real question is what did the Soviet’s do with him and for how long? |
