The Hunt for Martin Bormann - The Complete Series

A feature-length episode combining my original five episodes on Bormann to create, for ease of viewing, the omnibus edition! What happened to Hitler's sinister private secretary, the head of the Nazi Party Chancellery Martin Bormann? Did he manage to escape from Berlin in May 1945 and live out the rest of his life in hiding in South America? This programme will answer those questions.
Dr. Mark Felton FRHistS, FRSA is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers 'Zero Night' and 'Castle of the Eagles', both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood.

    A friend of mine in the mid 70s had been a combat engineer with the Berlin Brigade. He had been dispatched to the grave site by his command. He himself found a rusted out HSC handgun at the site of Bormann’s skull. He, himself believed that at the least Bormann’s skull had been planted there by Neo Nazis. Per my friend, whom I trusted explicitly, there was an incredibly intricate organisation of Nazis operating in Germany at that time. Not truly “Neo”, but actual 1st or second generation Nazis. My question, which I never received an answer to, was “Why was the US military involved in the search for remains?”. That would make for an incredibly documentary.

    An awesome documentary - I related this story in an earlier Bormann segment, but I think it is work repeating in summary. I had a chance encounter one evening with a supertanker captain on vacation in the Philippines in 1977 who was staying at the same small hotel. As the small number of guests gathered around the fireplace after dinner, he related how about ten years earlier he was on a walking holiday high in the Bavarian Alps. He stopped at a small Guesthouse that served as the local "pub" in a tiny hamlet high up in the mountains. While at dinner in the company of a dozen or so locals, a stocky elderly man, in obviously frail health, entered the dining room. What caused the Captain to note the event was because the locals in the room went totally silent as he entered the dining/pub room. The proprietor personally greeted and waited on the man, treating him with obvious deference. The man ate and drank in silence and didn't interact with any of the locals. He got up and left without leaving any payment or interaction with the staff. After his departure, normal conversation began again among the locals. The captain related he had no idea who the person was at the time and was mostly struck by the behavior of the locals. The final oddity was when the Captain asked the proprietor at the time who that man was, the proprietor got very nervous and he never got an answer! A couple of years later, he happened upon a news report about Bormann that included some pictures. Upon seeing the pictures of who was a somewhat obscure, but important Nazi, he related that he immediately recognized a marked resemblance to this obviously older man he had seen several years earlier. His comment to us was the man's facial structure and his haunting eyes were the most striking similar feature. His assumption was that this old Nazi was residing in the area and the residents both knew who he was and were scared to incur any of his displeasure. The captain also commented that the area had a very large population of elderly residents who would definitely be in the age range to be WWII adults, including having been potentially active Nazis or living under the Nazis. He continued on his walking vacation and never had any other interactions with that area or the people living there.

    The problem I have with stories like that, as is stated in the video, is that Bormann was an anonymous face in Hitler's team. People wouldn't have known who he was, and after the fall of the 3rd Reich, he really was a nobody. He would never be a man with a great post-war following, a man with clout - his clout disappeared the moment Hitler killed himself. I can't see why the locals would be deferential to a man with no reputation for anything other than being a toady - in fact, I'd say it would make him more likely to be turned in by someone who didn't hark back to the "good old days" of the Reich, or someone just looking for some reward money. Bormann would have been a target, for those who may have had to bow and scrape to him when Hitler was alive, or had perhaps been humiliated or sidelined by him when they tried to communicate with Hitler. Bormann could only really survive by being ultra-ordinary, the kind of person who WASN'T known to the locals. Even if he squirreled away plenty of wealth during his time in Govt, I doubt he would have had enough to buy anonymity and safety for long.

    I'm impressed time and again by your work Mr. Felton, this subject in particular being one I had looked in to many years ago. I ended up buried in the same stories you brought up and some more fanciful ones that I'm assuming you've also seen and dismissed like I for the most part did. I'm certain at this point that we won't conclusively know totally for sure what happened since each official version meets counter evidence that is hard to ignore, on one level or another. I think younger generations will find these stories perhaps interesting but on a somewhat different level than we do, when I was a child I met and interacted with people who did experience and in some cases take part in the events of WW2, on various 'sides' as it were. I'll never forget one guy I got to know when I lived in Italy as a kid, he was our neighbor. Every morning, he'd go to his garage and put a freshly brewed cup of coffee in front of, and salute, a bust of Benito Mussolini. I've met and talked to Finnish guys who trained in Germany and had a rank in the SS, and various other 'cast members' of WW2 in some form. They are of course all dead now, but 30-40yrs ago they were still in good enough shape to tell things from their perspective, which taught me a lot. In particular since their stories are not written down anywhere or deemed worthy to be recorded.

    I don't get anxious, I feel content that the leaders/Generals and high ranking National Socialist German Workers Party members were full of fear and horror at the impending end. After all the Genocide of the Concentration Camps, the destruction, death and vengeance against all of the Allies including Stalingrad. With the Russian Troops within meters of them in the bunker. As my Wise old Grandfather (and WWII veteran) used to say.... "God pays debts without money!"

    It's alleged that the adopted son of Walter Scheel, who was adopted from Bolivia and coincidently named Simon Martin Scheel, was actually the blood son of Martin Bormann, with a Bolivian, or Argentinian native woman. It's alleged that when Walter Scheel went to South America for a tour, he met with Bormann, who requested the boy have the opportunity to live a proper German life in Germany. If true, then not only is their another child, but the then newly post-war German Chancellor was not only well aware of Bormanns existence, but was apparently doing him a big favor.

    I'm a huge WW2 junkie and I so appreciate your channel. Your doccies are stunningly well researched and presented with refreshing historic neutrality, which is rare. I grew up in Africa after the fact, but I had the benefit of all the stories, emotions and sentiments while they were still rather fresh, and I never stopped reading about it. My most ardent memories as a little tot is of the music, my father had a particular interest in the war songs and marches on both sides, we'd listen to them on his old green, boxy gramophone player. I love the epic war dramas, but I always remind myself that there's nothing to romanticize about the horrific human cost on all sides, and the trauma that hounded several generations even to this day. Saddest thing is that we don't seem to have learned anything.... we are once again allowing warmongers to play us off against each other so they can drag us into senseless wars that rips families apart and destroy vast stretches of land, to only benefit a handful of politicians and industrialists and satisfy the manic ideologues.
