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.
