On this day, April 23, 1945 Martin Bormann and Joseph Goebbels advised Hitler that the telegram sent by Hermann Göring to Hitler asking permission to take leadership of the Third Reich was treasonous.
Bormann died by suicide as the Red Army advanced on Berlin Mitte. His body was later found at Lehrter Rail Station, where now stands Berlin’s Main Rail station
Martin Bormann’s son, called Martin Adolf, converted to Catholicism, joined the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and was ordained a priest in 1958. He spent some time working in the Belgian Congo. He also taught in an Austrian boarding school.
In 1969 he had a near fatal road accident. As a result of that accident he met Dominican Sister Cordelia, whom he married in 1971.
In 2011 Bormann was accused by a former pupil of raping him. Bormann was suffering from dementia and no case was taken against him. Other former pupils accused him of physical violence.
Bormann died in 2013 in Herdecke in North Rhine Westfalia.
