BORMANN, MARTIN
(1900 - 1973?) Chief deputy to Rudolph Hess, and upon Hess' bizarre mission to Great Britain, became head of the Nazi Party Chancellery. His adept manipulation of the bureaucracy made him arguably more powerful than Hitler. Sentenced to death in absentia in 1946 he was rumored to have lived in South America. A West German court pronounced him dead in 1973 from bones found in Berlin Important T.L.S. as Nazi Party Leader, 1p. large 4to., ""Fuhrerhauptqartier"" Sept. 7, 1941 in German to FRITZ SAUCKEL Gauleiter for Thuringia and Reich Defense Commissioner for Labor Allocation. Bormann informs Sauckel that he has been awarded the War Service Cross for his service to Germany. Sauckel implemented Hitler's 1942 call to mobilize workers to serve the German war machine. He eventually imported five million slave laborers who worked under some of the most inhumane conditions imaginable. Small losses at corners from previous mounting, horizontal fold separation repaired on verso. Signature a tad light, light soiling and wrinkles, otherwise very good.
