The Secretary: Martin Bormann, the Man Who Manipulated Hitler

Rating:
Summary: Martin Bormann - Died in Berlin
Review: I found Jochen Lang's book about Martin Bormann to be a very good read. He described in accurate detail Martin's rise to power in the Nazi party to become Hitler's indispensible "shadow". Lang describes in excellent detail Martin's beginnings with the Nazi party, his rise, his attempts to eradicate Judaism and Christianity from Germany, his behind-the-scenes manipulation within Hitler's inner circle, and lastly, Martin's death on the Invalidenstrasse bridge in Berlin, May, 1945. The footnotes and appendix are exceptional regarding Martin's death in Berlin. He proves, conclusively, through photomontage of the skull, dental records, and eye witnesses, that the skull exhumed in 1972, was, indeed, that of Martin Bormann. Quite a good book if you can still find it.
