In November 1945, a French officer entered the ruins of Hitler’s Chancellery and recovered documents scattered inside the underground bunker. Kept private for decades, these political and personal archives shed new light on the final days of the Third Reich.
Through letters, telegrams and eyewitness accounts, the film reconstructs life inside the Führerbunker as Soviet forces closed in on Berlin. The documents reveal Eva Braun’s decision to remain with Hitler, the moment the couple resolved to die, Hermann Göring’s attempt to assume power and Hitler’s final orders before his suicide on April 30, 1945. They also expose how Stalin’s silence over the discovery of Hitler’s body helped fuel decades of escape theories.
Documentary: Hitler'S Last Secrets
Directed by: Emmanuel Amara
Production: Adamis Production, France 5

That omission of Reichschancellory on the maps was somewhat surprising because Stalin's deputy Molotov visited Hitler there before the war so Soviet government knew of its existence.
Many years after the war, when the Soviets created their famous movie series Liberation, in the episode about storming Berlin fighting in and around Reichstag was depicted in detail but Reichschancellory was shown only once in a fictitious scene where after Hitler's death Göbbels tried to have negotiations with the Soviets and Soviet officer was sent there establishing a telephone line.
In reality, there wasn't anything like that. But this fictitious episode raised questions: ok, the Soviets were sending a liaison officer to the Führerbunker, so they apparently knew of its existence - why there didn't direct troops to attack it when the mission failed?
