Jawbone in question

Well, he had a bridge put in around 1943 or 1945 and that Dentist I believe had some form of records. Furthermore, he had quite a but of dental work done so there was quite a bit of information for the Allies to work with...now, for years the Russians claimed to have Hitler'ss skull fragment which was recently tested and proved to be that of a woman in her 30's, possibly Eva Braun's BUT from all accounts she used cyanide and not a pistol, however this skull fragment has a bullet exit hole in it. Look, I find this show's concept interesting...but having read and studied as much as I have I firmly believe, as the criminal profile of Hitler predicted, committed suicide in that bunker. Please watch the acclaimed mini-series "The World at War" from 1973-4. Completely objective, a masterpiece. Search for it here at IMDB. It often comes on the AHChannel... All 28 episodes. If we believe the KGB agents of the 60's and 70's Hitler and his wife's remains were dug up twice and burned completely into ashes around 1974. Happy Holidays.

P.S. To mr the question is who the he k's skull is that the KGB has been holding all these years claiming it as Hitler's?

How many people did they actually work with in those years as much as they did Hitler? When you have a client as important and powerful as he was, they become the focus of your work. He was far from being just another patient. I would imagine that your own dentist can recall some, perhaps even many of the details of your dental history if they had to. AFAIK know they worked on other people, but caring for the Fuhrer was their top priority. They collectively spent a lot of time with him. And their reconstructions were not the only evidence, there was also the comparison of the detailed photographs of his teeth and crowns and bridgework work in Bezyminski's book which fit with the archived skull X-rays, particularly the so-called "telephone bridge".

From the report by Sognnaes: ‘In 1968 the Russian writer Lev Bezymenski published in West Germany a book entitled Der Tod des Adolf Hitler (The Death of Adolf Hitler). Bezymenski’s book carried the subtitle Unknown documents from Soviet archives. Thus, twenty-three years after the event, Soviet sources finally permitted disclosure of details of the autopsy with various dental and medical data on the death of Adolf Hitler as well as Eva Braun, Goebbels and his family.’ ‘Heuserman, the chair-side dental assistance of Hitler’s dentist, Blaschke was interrogated in a talk with the Soviet Chief Expert of Forensic Medicine, Lieutenant Colonel Shkaravski on May 11 1945, in the Office of CAFS No. 496. Frau Heuserman described the state of Hitler’s teeth in every detail.’ ‘One of the most important exhibits recovered from Soviet Archives concerns the objective photographic evidence illustrating the remains of the dentition of the corpse described in autopsy document Bo. 12. Included were photographs of a fixed dental prosthesis, namely, a 9-unit bridge, and the charred fragment of a mandible, the latter with several intact anterior teeth and two bridges, one on the right and one on the left side.’

‘The five X-ray plates attached are copies of originals found among Dr. Morell’s records. They have been positively identified by him as well as by Dr. Giesing as X-ray taken from Hitler. This was during the period when Dr. Giesing was treating Hitler for ear injuring suffered at the time of the assassination attempt on 20 Jul 44.’

‘In comparing the five X-ray plates located in the U.S. National Archives, several principal observations emerge, which are considered of major significance in correlating subjective and objective evidence regarding the odontological identification of Hitler. Firstly, it became clear that Hitler had only four remaining teeth which were not involved in either bridging a gap or supporting a bridge between adjacent teeth. Secondly, the X-rays indicate that the maxillary right central incisor and left lateral incisor, while completely opaque to the X-ray beam, do show short metallic posts for insertion into the root canals. Thirdly, the X-rays show a very peculiar and very unusual dental bridge construction on the right lingual aspect of the mandible. Fourthly, the X-rays show that the left maxillary incisor has the very characteristic feature of a partially opaque or metallic crown, typical of the now outmoded, but in times past, not infrequently uses, window-crown.’ ‘After careful study of the various types of descriptive, diagrammatic and photographic evidence had been prepared with a view to summarizing what, in our judgment, represented the dental status of Adolf Hitler.’

‘From the overall comparison of the odontological evidence we conclude that the individual identified by means of the 1945 Hitler files located in the U.S. National Archives in 1972, is the same person as that whose 1945 autopsy report was published in 1968 on the basis of the previously unknown documents from Soviet Archives of 1945.’

If you can find a flaw or error in Sognnaes' analysis, feel free to point it out. Bear in mind that he was a Dean of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine AND a founding Dean of the UCLA School of Dentistry.
