How the woman who identified Hitler's dental remains ended up in prison

From Fox News.com:

Berlin’s ruins still smoldered as three Soviet military intelligence officers questioned a tall, lithe blonde in 1945. A Red Army lieutenant, the group’s translator, opened the burgundy satin cover of a cheap jewelry box and showed her its contents.

Nestled inside were charred human teeth, gold dental crowns and a complete lower jaw.

“I took the dental bridge in my hand,” Käthe Heusermann wrote decades later. “I looked for an unmistakable sign. I found it immediately, took a deep breath and blurted out, ‘These are the teeth of Adolf Hitler.’ I was showered with expressions of gratitude.”

Within weeks, Heusermann was in solitary confinement in a notorious Moscow prison — her reward for telling Josef Stalin an irksome truth.

What a bastard Stalin was! Not only hiding the truth made the FBI believe Hitler could be still alive but made the team on History Channel's Hunting Hitler show waste their time investigating Hitler’s death. The show was interesting to watch though. I wonder if the Hunting Hitler team knows the news. Of course, putting the woman in prison who gave Stalin the truth was a travesty too. Then again that’s what dictators do.
