I wonder how there was anything left for an American to find after the Russkies were done with the place. IIRC, the US, UK and France occupied everything west of the Elbe, but later traded what became East Germany west of the Elbe for an allied sector of Berlin. But I don't think that happened for a few mos. after the fall of Berlin, which was around May 8th. Hitler's charred remains supposedly turned up in Magdeburg years after the war. And from what I've read Hitler was so far gone by the last days of the war, that he'd have had trouble signing his own name to anything.
