Adolf Hitler's skull has been on show for the first time ever at an exhibition in Moscow.
The exhibition called "The Agony of the Third Reich" opened on Wednesday and marks the 55th anniversary of the end of World War Two.
The exhibition opened on Wednesday (April 26) at the Exhibition Hall of Federal Archives in Moscow.
Several archive agencies of Russia plus the Russian Federal Security Service (F-S-B), the Defence Ministry and the Foreign Ministry came together to sponsor the exhibition which contains some 150 exhibits.
People visiting "The Agony of the Third Reich" exhibition are able to view genuine documents and former belongings of Hitler.
Showpieces at the Moscow exhibition include historic materials from the Nazi bunker, the last shelter for the ringleaders of the Third Reich at the end of the Second World War.
Goebbels' diary and other genuine belongings of the leaders of the Third Reich can be viewed together with pictures of the Nuremberg Tribunal with scenes of executions of the main Nazi criminals.
The most graphic exhibit includes a piece of Hitler's skull - complete with bullet hole from where he shot himself.
Nikolai Mikhayko, Director of the Archive of the F-S-B described how the skull became known as that of the former German dictator.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"This piece of skull was taken during an investigation when they were trying to see if this was indeed the corpse of Hitler. This was in late 45 early 46. And the skull was investigated and it was found to be authentic - the skull of Hitler."
SUPER CAPTION: Nikolai Mikhayko, Director of the Archive of the FSB
The Director of the archive is aware that more modern methods could be applied to the investigation towards authenticating the origin of the skull.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"In order to be (even more) sure that it is Hitler's skull, we need modern methods, for example DNA. But I don't know if we will find any living relatives of Hitler. But we have to compare the (DNA of the ) skull with (the DNA of relatives). Maybe we will find people who are willing."
SUPER CAPTION: Nikolai Mikhayko, Director of the Archive of the FSB
Most of the materials at the exhibit have not been on show previously as they had been stored in secret archives as part of investigation files for decades since the end of World War Two.
