BORMANN DEAD
KILLED BY FLYING STEEL (Rec. 0.30 a.m.) FRANKFURT, Jan. 3. Allied intelligence officers are satisfied that Bormann, Hitler’s secretary, is dead. After studying affidavits taken from witnesses unknown to each other, the officers said Bormann was
killed when a German tank exploded as he and others were trying to escape from the Reich Chancellery shortly after the Fuhrer and Eva Braun committed suicide. Bormann was riding directly behind a tank when it was hit by a Russian shell, and flying steel from the disintegrating tank decapitated him.
