News flash! In the newspaper this morning there was story on Hitler’s remains. The Soviets confirmed Hitler’s blood was on a sofa from the bunker and they buried his corpse on an army base in East Germany. In 1970 they dug up his bones, burned them, and tossed the ashes down a sewer. They kept pieces of skull and a jawbone for identification purposes but they flushed the rest into the sewer to ensure that no shrine to his remains would ever be created.

I think they underestimated nazis. I can quite easily imagine them gathered around worshipping a sewer.
