If you watch carefully in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), Bormann's photo is shown when a golden ticket winner is declared in (iirc) Paraguay (the ticket turns out to be fraudulent). I saw the movie when I was a kid and didn't notice. When I saw it again as an adult, I instantly recognized Bormann's photo and I burst out laughing hysterically. My family thought I went nutty -- I had to pause the film and explain the joke. In 1971 nobody was sure what happened to Bormann, so that little inside joke was put in the film for various reasons, but many people don't notice it.

I really geeked out on Bormann’s escape route a few years ago. I even went so far as to follow it from start to finish (as best as possible without breaking the law). It was a jarring experience walking around a modern and vibrant Berlin while dipping in and out of the subway and finishing at a spot where a man’s cranium was unearthed. A cranium that had laid there for decades, throughout the rebuilding of Berlin, years of wondering what happened to Bormann. Berlin is such a powerful place, I can feel the history all around me, so much has happened.

[@jrodowens]

I'm surprised you can still feel the history, with the Berliner obsession for burying said history and rebuilding it entirely different (and in my opinion, without character.) What you did sounds amazing, though.

And now there comes the best part of the story: the cranium was covered in red sand typical for Paraguay....

The "discovery" is a little suspect. If anyone could have escaped to South America it was Bormann. I think Heinrich Müller (head of the Gestapo) and Bormann escaped together.

I've been reading a lot of books by Joseph P. Farrell on this and related Nazi topics. This video should be titled, "We Don't Know." Farrell paints a very detailed picture of Borman and others escaping Germany, possibly with the actual living Hitler. There are stories, there are lies and I'm sitting here thinking that 'we really don't know.'

[@GreasyBelcher]

@@bondgabebond4907 I’ve read Joseph P Farrell’s book “The Third away”. It details the 1953 discovery of “The Madrid Circular” a leaked post war Nazi plan to change the world. Shockingly, pretty much everything listed in the plan has unfolded. An interesting book to read is “Critical Mass: How Nazi Germany Surrendered Enriched Uranium For The United States' Atomic Bomb” - That details the story of Uboat U234. Another interesting book is “The Skorzeny Papers” written by Major Ralph P Ganis. This uncovers the truth about the murder of JFK, which was killed a few weeks after speaking at the 18th Assembly of the UN, where he gave a speech inviting Russia to work with the USA on a joint mission to the moon. Has this of happened it would have ended the Cold War, which is an essential component of the underground post war Nazi elite plan for the quiet implementation of World Government/ Fourth Reich. These plans were set in motion after the loss of the 6th Army at Stalingrad. The Nazis knew military campaign would be lost and began making contingency plans as early as 1943. A Jewish journalist named Curt Reiss fled Berlin as soon as the war started, in 1944 published a book in titled “The Nazis Go Under Ground”. This book detailed events leading up to the Red House Meeting in Strasbourg on 10th August 1944. When Bormann revealed to the Nazi financial backers that the campaign to establish the 1000 year Reich would continue via economic and political means using the stolen wealth of Europe along with the continuing support of the Nazi supporting corporate fascist network, represented by those in attendance.

Dear friends, in 1947 Miguel Ezquerra, Colonel of the SS of Spanish origin, wrote his book where he describes his flight north from Berlin, in his book he tells how he finds Bormann several kilometers north of the Speer River. Today in Paraguay there are 3 children of Bormann born in front of Lake Constance in 1948, 1951 and 1952, naturally they use another surname. When Reihard Gehlen orders from his home (because he ran the BND from his home, after having resigned due to the Operation Gladio scandal) that they bring some of Bormann's remains from Paraguay in 1971, they only bring a femur and skull, perfectly clean and They will be buried next to Dr.Stumpfegger's remains which were dirty and skeleton complete. Bormann's skull will have the reddish color of the ferric oxide that the land of Paraguay has and that does not exist in Berlin. Bormann was in Argentina, with two meetings with Perón, in Chile under the name of Juan Keller (the official photo of the civil registry of Chile exists) and he will die in Paraguay on February 9, 1959 of stomach cancer, in the house of the ambassador of the German Federal Republic.

[@pierren___]

How could he be unrecognized ??

[@jorgebordon5131]

@@pierren___ It was always recognized, in each place he paid a lot of money to be protected, in February 1945 two U boots landed money, gold and platinum worth 100,000 million Euros in the south of Buenos Aires (Argentina) In Argentina we call it the Bormann fortune . Please keep in mind that the OSS was not looking for him, because they had agreed with the Nazis, only the FBI was looking for him, until 1947 when the FBI was prohibited from conducting investigations outside the US. Bormann was only afraid of the Jews, and after 1948 some Israeli commando. Until the end of 1947, Bormann and the 40,000 Nazi Germans who emigrated to Argentina still "fantasized" about a 4th Reich, when Germany ordered the repatriation of the 120 tons of gold deposited in Argentina, this fantasy evaporated.....The new leader of that fantasy would be Rudel, as Secretary of the Nazi Party, he would still be Bormann. Today most of the information on the arrival of A.H. and Bormann to Argentina is provided by the FBI or members of the Black Front, who had infiltrated the German Embassy in Buenos Aires.

Thank you Dr. Felton for yet another well researched story. Your work is always top quality.

[@waltie1able]

Thanks and congratulation on a great presentation. As one who had a mother and relatives living in and around Berlin in 1945, I have had a strong interest in the most fascinating history of the 20th century, Nazi Germany.

[@LuvBorderCollies]

My brother-in-law's dad was an NCO on a flak battery in Berlin at war's end. He knew that time was running out to either make a break for the US forces or stay in Berlin and get himself and his crew killed. Actually anyone with a clear head knew the end was very close. Heinz talked to his crew of teenagers who also wanted to escape. He lead his boys out of Berlin and managed to hook up with the US Army and surrender. What he didn't know was the Russians had lists of German units they wanted as POW's. Every unit that defended Berlin was on their lists which they gave to the Americans. So a flak battery with an NCO and teenagers was trophy material for the Russians. The US turned them over to the Russians and he spent the next 7 years in a gulag. When he got released he briefly went back his hometown of Flensburg then left for the USA. He was not the same mentally when he came back according to the family. He was always paranoid and anxious. I wish I could've gotten the details of his escape from Berlin, how he and his boys pulled it off without anyone getting hurt, and then finding the US forces. But he was a hard guy to have a conversation with, but he did make it clear the US should stay out of the Balkans(Kosovo and that whole mess). Those people are nothing but trouble and you (the US) will regret getting involved. Not sure if he was basing that on history or something else, maybe reputation of the Huns.

the music at the end is perfect about how I feel! I remember being very young and hearing Bormann's skull had been found!

[@tng2057]

Suggestions about Bormann the ultimate Soviet spy were never dismissed.

[@stuart8663]

Fascinating, i've never heard that possibility before

[@timf2279]

It was a secret.

Thanks Dr Felton! I’m excited everytime i see you post, thank you for your service!!!!

[@johngauntlett4915]

Prof., I love this series, if there is a part III or IV you should add the closing music from Hitchcock Presents after the suspenseful music at the end. I love watching your videos. My father was a Lt. Commander in the South Pacific in WWII. He wouldn't say much but when he did it was fascinating.

[@Articulate99]

Always interesting, thank you.

Thank you for the great videos Lord Felton!

[@thetruthaboutfacts224]

Love your videos mr Felton just wanted to say it since I’m early.

[@grahamwalker2312]

Thank you yet again for such a well researched and presented mini-documentary. A thought occurred to me which might have a bearing on Bormann's disappearance. Did the documents he had ever reach Admiral Donitz and if so who delivered them ?

[@tobiasnelson1848]

This is so good. What a cliffhanger until the next episode

[@MPGunther1]

Always an intriguing lesson Dr. Felton

[@ericsun3036]

ayyy! Another Excellent Video!

[@awesomehpt8938]

It’s kinda impressive that this was a man that was so evil and manipulative that even a lot of other Nazis and Military officers hated him. Yes rivalries and infighting were common among Hitlers inner circle but I bet theyd have all pounced on him at once if Hitler ever said a bad word about him.

[@heyhoe168]

Genuine evilness is a rare trait. I bet a lot of nazies blindly believed into nazism as religious fanatics do. Both do not see themself in "evil" position.

Somewhere I thought I heard that when they examined the skull it had a type of soil inside it that wasn't typical of the soil from Berlin. Correct me if I'm wrong, getting old and maybe I am losing it.

[@brianlisk6142]

I also heard they dug there years before and found nothing. Then they magically found the skull.

[@rare6499]

This sounds like one of these classic theories that gets passed around but has anyone actually got some proof they can link to?
