Bormann’s Death Quite Certain
FRANKFURT, January 3
Allied intelligence officers are satisfied that Martin Bormann, Hitler's deputy, is dead. After studying affidavits taken from witnesses unknown to each other, the officers said Hitler's deputy was killed when a German tank exploded as he and others were trying to escape from the Reich Chancellery shortly after the Fuehrer and Eva Braun committed suicide.
Bormann was riding directly behind the tank when it was hit by a Russian shell and flying steel from the disintegrating tank decapitated him. The British Eighth Corns in Germany has categorically denied that any person in its district is under "arrest suspected of being Martin Bormann.
