How long did it take the Soviets to reach Hitler's bunker after the German leader's suicide?

Berlin. 4 in the afternoon of April 30, 1945. Hitler has just committed suicide in his bunker. Shortly later, his remains were burned.

The Soviet assault on the Reich Chancellery began during the early hours of May 2, and finally the first Russian troops entered Hitler's bunker, in which only one mechanical engineer remained between 8 and 9 in the morning.

Therefore, it can be estimated that it took the Soviets about 40 hours to reach Hitler's bunker after the German leader's suicide.

Great film, Downfall.. although it's famous for memes, yet remains an engaging film for history.

Remember the Royalties and credit the pictures as they deserve. They're from the magnificent movie Der Untergang, The Downfall, from 2004.

The USSR would have collapsed without the Lend-Lease Act and help from Britain (intelligence). Loss of food would have sealed the fate of the soviets (unless helped by foreign powers fighting for communism) The soviets got enough food from the USA to feed its soldiers for the rest of the war, 12 million boots , 60 percent aluminum and steel, a lot of tin , 90 percent of railway equipment ( the soviets would never have been able to conduct offensives so fast and transfer their main armies to critical points , 300000 trucks were given , 65 percent of aviation fuel and much more apart from 15 percent tanks ,aircrafts Soviet sympathizers say "only 15 per cent was given to USSR"

@Occident.

The fact is the Soviets did not know of the existence of the Bunker. As for Hitlers body, I don't think the ones the Soviets found were Hitler's and Eva's. I read SS body guards switched the bodies. Hitler and Eva were buried in a mass grave with others who fell in the fighting in Berlin.

He never committed sucide. He fled Berlin on April 23,1945 to Spain where he lived till May 10,1945. He then took a Nazi sub to Argentina arriving on June 7. He lived in Argentina until October 7, 1962 when he flew back to Spain where he lived until February 12, 1970 when he died.
