He committed suicide taking a cyanide capsule and immediately shooting himself with a pistol.

Explanation:

Adolf Hitler spent the last months of WWII buried in a specially modified bunker under the chancellery.
Two days before committing suicide ha married Eva Braun that, on the 30th, would commit suicide as well.
There are many versions of the sequence of events of that day; perhaps the more reliable is the one from his personal aide Otto Gunsche that received the instructions to wait for the two shots and then to carry the bodies outside and burn them.
