-Who did your father used to drive around?
And the old bored dude answers:
-Bormann..
-BORMANN??!! My GOD!!! So he did try to start up a new Reich Here!!!! This Is PROOF!!!
Really....guys...
Yeah it's more entertaining than realistic, and becoming less and less interesting every episode.
shareYes, this show has typical "History" Channel nonsense and exaggeration. However they are still presenting a lot of interesting evidence about the Nazi network in South America. It's unfortunate they have to dumb it down and dramatize for the plebs, but that can be said for all American television.
shareI think it's ignorant to think Bormann died in Berlin. Hitler might be outlandish but there were many reports of Bormann in South America. The written reports of Bormann's remains in Germany raise a lot of questions as well why they decided to bury the remains at sea versus investigate them further. Nobody in Germany or elsewhere wanted to admit that Bormann escaped their grasp and didn't pay for his crimes against humanity.
shareThen how was his body placed in a radically different postwar Berlin so as to allow it to be found right next to that of Dr. Ludwig Stumpfegger with whom he fled the bunker? Glass fragments were found embedded in the jaw indicating suicide by cyanide capsule. If he escaped Berlin why did he kill himself? And the autopsy revealed the body to be that of a man of approximately 45 years of age. Bormann was 44, almost 45 when he left the bunker. How did he manage to stop aging?
shareIf you have recent official documents to link to, I'd love to see them!
shareNothing recent as the case has been closed for years, but here's a link to a NY Times account of the identification of the remains: http://www.nytimes.com/1973/02/09/archives/berlin-doctor-says-newfound-skeleton-is-that-of-bormann.html?_r=0 You can also read "The Secretary" by Jochen von Lang.
sharethat and that his skull had clay only found in that country, not in germany and that it were the same sort of clay in the unmarked grave they said boreman died
he was unearthed after his death and sent to berlin
There is no verified source or documentation for the red clay BS. The Berlin autopsy notes the presence of glass fragments embedded in the jaw indicating suicide by cyanide capsule. If he escaped, why did he then kill himself? It also notes that the body was that of a man of about 45 years of age. Bormann was 44 going on 45 when he left the bunker. If he got away, how did he stop himself from aging? How did the person/persons who brought his corpse back to Germany know EXACTLY where to put his body in a radically altered postwar Berlin so that it would be found right next to the corpse of Dr. Ludwig Stumpfegger who accompanied Bormann on his attempted breakout? Why even bring his corpse back to Germany to be found? Why not leave him among the ranks of the missing?
shareWhy would he bother to leave the bunker and then take cyanide? That doesn't make sense at all. If he was going to kill himself why try and escape? Also the body wasn't there the first time they searched and then it turned up twenty years later. If that's not suspicious I don't know what is!

shareThat's MY question. The glass fragments were found in the autopsy, that is beyond valid dispute. So why did he escape and then kill himself? The first search for the body likely was in the wrong spot. When it was found, it was discovered next to the corpse of Dr. Stumpfegger who fled the bunker with him. If his body was put there after the war, how did whoever did it know exactly where to put it?
