As a kid growing up in the 90s (30 now), we were taught at school that no one actually knew what happened to Hitler, this was in school textbooks and seemed to be the general consensus at the time. A body had never been found and it was assumed that he was dead but there was no mention of suicide etc and really the whole thing was a mystery.

Fast forward 20 years and everyone generally holds the view that Hitler killed himself in a bunker, what recent evidence points to this? What has come to light in the last 20 years that hadn't in the 60+ years before that?

Can anyone that has studied WW2 recently at school give an idea of what is taught in textbooks now?

Just seems strange that we were taught one thing 20 years ago with what I'm assuming is the same evidence we have today yet these days we are being told something completely different.
