Martin Bormann

Martin Bormann was a senior Nazi Party official who became head of the Party Chancellery and one of Adolf Hitler’s most powerful subordinates. His position gave him extensive influence over appointments, party administration and access to Hitler during the later years of the Third Reich.

Martin Bormann was a senior Nazi Party official who controlled access to Adolf Hitler and headed the Party Chancellery. Martin Bormann was born in Wegeleben, Germany and died in Berlin, Germany.

Alex Gerlis’ End of Spies uses the historical uncertainty that once surrounded Martin Bormann’s disappearance to drive its post-war conspiracy. Investigators pursuing a Nazi escape network begin to consider whether Hitler’s powerful Party Chancellery chief may have survived the fall of Berlin and escaped Allied capture. The novel is explicit fiction rather than evidence for Bormann’s survival; his real office and mysterious disappearance provide the credible historical gap around which the thriller constructs its hunt for fugitive Nazis.
