As reported by witnesses...

    I'd have to agree witnesses 'did' see blood but not very much....This was because Hitler shot himself in the head with a small caliber bullet that didn't go out the other side making a big mess, and because he had just bit on a cyanide capsule before he pulled the trigger, which stopped his heart and blood pumping quicker than the bullet would have.

    So, you'd just expect a little blood from the one small hole from the blood still in his head which however was no longer being pumped due to the cyanide so wouldn't gush.

    Otto Gunsche, Hitler's adjutant, did say he saw blood coming from Hitler's temple.

    Hitler committed the cowardly act of suicide by swallowing a cyanide (lethal chemical) capsule. And then...they supposedly burned his body.

    He had no blood.
