Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardback, 248 pagesPublished Price £25 Born on 17 June 1900, Martin Ludwig Bormann became one of the most powerful and most feared men in the Third Reich. An obsessive bureaucrat, it was Bormann who helped steer Hitler's apparatus of terror so effectively that he became the clandestine ruler of Nazi Germany. After joining the Nazi Party in 1927 Bormann rose through its ranks. Indeed, by July 1933 Bormann had manoeuvered himself into the position where he became the Chief of Cabinet in the Office of the Deputy F hrer, Rudolf Hess. In this role Bormann gradually consolidated his power base, so that when Hess carried out his infamous flight to the United Kingdom in 1941, Bormann stepped into his shoes. As the head of the Party Chancellery, Bormann duly took control of the Nazi Party. By the end of 1942, he was in effect Hitler's deputy and his closest collaborator. With the Fhrer increasingly preoccupied with military matters, Hitler came to rely more and more on Bormann to handle Germany's domestic affairs. On 12 April 1943, Bormann was appointed Personal Secretary to the F hrer. Feared by ministers, Gauleiters, civil servants, judges and generals alike, Bormann identified strongly with Hitler's ideas on racial politics, destruction of the Jews and forced labour and made himself indispensable as the F hrer's executioner. Cold as ice, he decided the fate of millions of people. In January 1945, with the Third Reich collapsing, Bormann returned to the F hrerbunker with Hitler. Following Hitler's suicide on 30 April, Bormann was named as Party Minister, thus officially confirming his rise to the top of the Party. Late the following day he fled from the bunker in an attempt to escape the encircling Red Army; his fate remaining a mystery for many years. In October 1946 he was found guilty in absentia by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg and sentenced to death. Drawing heavily on recently declassified documents and files, the historian and journalist Volker Koop reveals the full story of the most faithful member of Hitler's inner circle, an individual who, whilst little known to the German people, became the second most powerful man in the Third Reich.A Footnote to "The Fleeing Nazi" Did Hitler's Secretary Martin Bormann Escape?What should have been an open-and-shut case remained unresolved for decades. Because the Soviets never announced the recovery of Martin Bormann's body, uncertainty about his fate persisted long after the war. As late as 1967, the renowned Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal argued that the available evidence suggested Bormann might still be alive.Subsequent findings, however, have settled the matter conclusively. The evidence now demonstrates that Bormann died in Berlin on 2 May 1945. On 4 May 1998, his remains were definitively identified through genetic testing ordered by German authorities. Following their release to his family, the remains were cremated, and his ashes were scattered over the Baltic Sea on 16 August 1999.…
