“Hitler has escaped!”
Soviet Press Agency TASS)
The 2 May edition of Pravda, according to a dispatch from the Soviet Press Agency TASS:
Late yesterday evening, German radio broadcast the communiqué from the so-called “Führer’s headquarters,” stating that Hitler died on the afternoon of 1 May. […] These German radio messages are probably nothing but a fascist trick: by broadcasting the news of Hitler’s death, the German fascists hope to give him the chance to leave the scene and go into hiding.
