When Frank unsuccessfully attempted to resign his position on 24 August 1942, Nazi Party Secretary Martin Bormann tried to advance a project to dissolve the General Government altogether and partition its territory into a number of Reichsgaue, arguing that only this method could guarantee the territory's Germanization, while also claiming that it could also be economically exploited more effectively, particularly as a source of food.

Hitler typically did not issue written orders, but gave them verbally at meetings or in phone conversations ; he also had Bormann convey orders.

The alliance was shaky at best, mainly because during this period Himmler was still cooperating with Bormann to gain more power at the expense of Göring and most of the traditional Reich administration ; Göring's loss of power had resulted in an overindulgence in the trappings of power and his strained relations with Goebbels made it difficult for a unified coalition to be formed, despite the attempts of Speer and Göring's Luftwaffe deputy Field Marshal Erhard Milch, to reconcile the two Party comrades.

However, the inability of Himmler to persuade Hitler to cease his support of Bormann, the defection of SS generals such as Obergruppenführer Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the Chief of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt and his powerful subordinate Gruppenführer Heinrich Müller, head of the Gestapo, to Bormann, soon persuaded Goebbels to align himself with the Secretary to the Führer at the end of 1944, thus accepting his subordinate position.

By this time, Goebbels had gained the position he had wanted so long – at the side of Hitler, albeit only because of his subservience to Bormann, who was the Führers de facto deputy.

Instead, Hitler appointed Goebbels Reich Chancellor ; Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz, who was at Flensburg near the Danish border, Reich President ; and Martin Bormann, Hitler's long-time chief of staff, Party Minister.

In some versions, line 4 is " And Martin Bormann has got none at all.

In February 1941 he was present at a meeting along with Speer, Bormann and Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel at which Hitler had set out his views on the " Jewish question " at some length, making it clear that he intended the " disappearance " of the Jews one way or another.

At the trial, the world got its first view of Irma Grese, Elisabeth Volkenrath, Juana Bormann, Fritz Klein, Josef Kramer, and the rest of the SS men and women who before served at Mittelbau Dora, Ravensbrück, Auschwitz I, II, III, and Neuengamme.

All except Starotska were accused of having committed such crimes at Bergen-Belsen ; Starotska, Kramer, Klein, Weingartner, Kraft, Hössler, Bormann, Volkenrath, Ehlert, Gura, Grese, Lothe, Lobauer and Schreirer were also charged with atrocities committed at Auschwitz.

This was followed by a long lunch at 2 pm, where Hitler would invariably sit in the same place, as he did at every meal, between Jodl and Otto Dietrich, the Nazi Press Chief, while opposite him sat Keitel, Hitler's secretary, Martin Bormann and General Karl Heinrich Bodenschatz, Goering's adjutant.

* Martin Bormann, Nazi official and Hitler's private secretary, sentenced to death at the Nuremberg war crimes trials.

As State Secretary of the Parteikanzlerei ( Party Chancellery ), Klopfer represented Bormann, who was head of the Parteikanzlei, at the Wannsee Conference on January 20, 1942 in which the details of the " Final Solution of the Jewish Question " were formalized, policies that culminated in the Holocaust.

Juana Bormann ( or Johana Borman ) ( September 10, 1893 – December 13, 1945 ) was a prison guard at several Nazi concentration camps, and was executed as a war criminal at Hamelin after a trial in 1945.

In March 1942, Bormann was one of a handful of women selected for guard duty at Auschwitz in Poland.

In 1944, as German losses mounted, Bormann was transferred to the auxiliary camp at Hindenburg ( now called Zabrze, Poland ) in Silesia.

Bormann was later incarcerated and interrogated by the military, then prosecuted at the Belsen Trial, which lasted from September 17, 1945 to November 17, 1945.

In February 1943, following the Battle of Stalingrad, Bormann with Lammers attempted to create a three-men junta representing the Nazi Party ( Bormann ), the state ( Lammers ), and the army which would have been led by Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the OKW ( armed forces high command ).

Bormann used his position to control the flow of information and access to Hitler, earning him enemies, including Himmler.

He ranked along with Joachim von Ribbentrop, Göring, Himmler, and Martin Bormann as the senior Nazi with the most access to Hitler, which in an autocratic regime meant access to power.

This trio – Goebbels, Himmler and Speer – became the real centre of German government in the last year of the war, although Bormann used his privileged access to Hitler to thwart them when he could.

Bormann used his position to restrict access to Hitler for his own benefit and, supported by deputies like Albert Hoffmann, Gerhard Klopfer and Helmuth Friedrichs, to further party influence in areas such as armaments and manpower.

Along with Martin Bormann, he increasingly controlled access to Hitler.

The Volkssturm had existed, on paper, since approximately 1925, however it was only after Hitler ordered Martin Bormann to recruit six million men for this militia that the group became a physical reality.

In order for these militia units to be effective, Hitler and Bormann counted not only on strength in numbers, but also in fanaticism.

However, Göring sent a telegram on 23 April, asking permission to take over the leadership of the Reich — an act that Hitler, under the prodding of Martin Bormann, interpreted as a demand to step down or face a coup.

Only Goebbels and Bormann remained totally loyal to Hitler.

" Gustav supported the " Adolf Hitler Endowment Fund of German Industry ", administrated by Bormann, who used it to collect millions of Marks from German businessmen.

Gustloff was given a state funeral in his birthplace of Schwerin in Mecklenburg with Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Martin Bormann and Joachim von Ribbentrop in attendance.

The remnants of homes of former Nazi leaders — such as Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring, and Martin Bormann — were all demolished in the early postwar years.

Soon after this, Hitler was made aware of the problem-by whom it is not clear, but it is probable that the matter had reached the ears of Martin Bormann, head of the Party Chancellery and Hitler's private secretary, who thought it his duty to inform Hitler that Goebbels had not told him the whole truth about the Grynszpan case.

Due to his position, Speer was able to describe the personalities of many Nazi officials, including Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Hess, Martin Bormann and, of course, Adolf Hitler himself.

In Hitler's reticence, Speer claimed that Hitler's personal secretary, Martin Bormann, took advantage of the vacuum and controlled all information going to Hitler in a bid to gain power for himself.

The German Wehrmacht was understrength, especially after continuous operations between June 1942 and February 1943, to the point where Hitler appointed a committee made up of Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, Martin Bormann and Hans Lammers, to recruit 800, 000 new able-bodied men — half of whom would come from " nonessential industries ".

At 03: 15, Reichskanzler Goebbels and Bormann sent a radio message to Dönitz informing him of Hitler's death.

This position gave him extensive power of patronage within the Nazi Party as Bormann often left appointments to party positions to Klopfer and Friedrichs.

Blondi ( 1941 – 30 April 1945 ) was Adolf Hitler's German Shepherd dog, given to him as a gift in 1941 by Martin Bormann.

Instead, he was captured, and the Russians put him through many brutal interrogations based on speculation that he might have flown Hitler or Bormann to safety at the last minute.

Baldo quickly explains Ernest G. Bormann ’ s idea of fantasy-themed criticism to include “ first, that a person ’ s reality is created by communication and language, and second, that this communication can create a “ shared reality ” among many participants … allows them to see themselves as heroes or villains and their actions as just or unjust ” ( Foss qtd.
