Bormann, Martin (b. 17 June 1900, d. 1 May 1945). Secretary to Hitler 1943–5 Born in Halberstadt, he entered the
Nazi Party in 1928 and rose quickly among its ranks to become the deputy of Rudolf
Hess in 1933,whom he succeeded as head of the party machine, the Chancery, in 1941. He increasingly became a key figure in the closing years of the
Nazi regime. He exerted strong control of the party, albeit from the background, and as
Hitler's secretary he became the
Führer's right-hand man, controlling access to him and even the flow of information. He almost certainly died in Berlin when it was captured by the
Red Army, though his body has never been found. In the
Nuremberg Trials, he was sentenced to death
in absentia.
