Martin Bormann: Hitlers Private Secretary 

Please do a biographic on L.M Montgomery.

Lindsey A The author?

ya.

There is no V sound in Latin. The V makes a W sound.

Lindsey A That would be cool and different. Don’t get many bios about her.

But, they are jewelry for men who don't even wear jewelry lol

@@amandaschultz1338 Ah yes, a very important point to remember !

"As a loyal secretary, Bormann helped Hitler stay on schedule. And you know what else is great at keeping you on schedule? A beautiful new watch from Vincero"

@@RidleyJones They should put that on the box; it would totally sell

For a second I thought he was talking about Bormann selling watches 😂🤔

...but...he did have a Vincero watch...a good looking style statement to overcome the wearer's inadequacies....

Haha Bormann was anything but boring.

spectreshadow He wasn’t Bormann was Rudolf Hess former deputy and Bormann used this to his advantage the reason why because he is extremely cunning, ambitious and ruthless man

@@spectreshadow bore man isnt boring haha

I feel that Bormann should have gotten the death penalty. Why though did Rudolf Hess get life imprisonment, while Martin Bormann, also Hitler's deputy, received death penalty (in abstesia)? Both deputies should get death.

Christian Schmid . Theres always these small continuity errors in these videos .

.

Since we are at small mistakes - 1:32 It's Freikorps, not Friekorps.

So what can we believe? Anything? Hmmmm. Thanks for the tip off.

He said that about the slavs, not the germans.

@@Nicholas-ij7oh And he still probably thought the same thing of educated Germans

@@balabanasireti Why? What would be the benefit of ensuring that Germany would stay behind scientifically, behind the other great powers? As the head of almost all domestic matters during the wartime effort, education was by no means ended. The Homefront was indeed well maintained, partly due to the concern of Bormann.

@@Nicholas-ij7oh This video didn't suggest or state that...

​@@spinnach2896shut up sheenie

All my homies hate Rudolf hess when he takes his flight

Everybody gangsta until Germany start producing 4pp per day

I was just about to play that lol

I agree

In all honesty there's not much to know about her; a kept woman, hidden from the public (which chaffed her mentally, but which she accepted) she reveled in being official hostess at the Berghof and enjoyed the jewels, furs, perfumes, and delicacies that came her way from occupied countries. She had a regular education, lived in an intact family which included 2 sisters, I think. She met Hitler while working for a photographer he used. Her father objected to her relationship with Hitler on moral grounds, but she gave Hitler the letter and it was handled. (Probably by showing him photos of Dachau or giving him money, or both.) She was athletic and physically attractive, non political, had little knowledge of the world at large or even her own country. She perfectly fit Hitler's description of the perfect woman being restful and rather stupid and dedicated to her male. She stuck with him to the end, but really what choice did she have? How would she have fared in a defeated and destroyed Germany? Despite the controversy of whether or not they actually had sex there is little of interest in their relationship, including that.

**Ok, let's see...... She was not very intelligent, and she was apparently insecure. She stuck with Hitler, who made it clear in earlier writings, that he preferred dumb, aloof women. That definitely described her. I can't think of much more about her that would be of interest.....**

At first glance, I would happen to agree; there isn't much really to know about her. There is, though, this weird thing that happened. At some point after America officially joined in, specifically in the European campaign, their DoD commissioned a group of psychologists and psychiatrists to draw up what we know as a poltical and historical psychological profile on Hitler, thus creating what would be eventually an entirely new branch within universities: poltical psychology. Being that most were steeped in Freudian thinking, the profile took on the same, weird vernacular he espoused. It was also unique in that they had to evaluate a 'patient' that they didn't, for obvious reasons, have any access to. Instead, they had to draw upon not only Mein Kampf, but also his public speaches & addresses, and what intelligence that was gathered on him, both in human form, and high intercepts, resulting from the British cracking their coding. As they were Freudians, they speclated about his relationship with his mother, but they also looked at Eva Braun too, the reason being that they was speculation (which, iirc, was proved to be right), prior to her, he never had any kind of romantic relationships, which were reciprocated, abet there was, and still is, weird implications regarding his relationship with a neice. But the main thrust of the profile was to try and understand what kind of man was he, in order to figure out what was the best strategy to defeat him: who exactly was he; what drove and motivated him; why was it that the intercepts begain to show what is now clearly understood as a chaotic governance, with departments having overlaping responsibilities, leading to a fair amount of rivalry between them; this amount of deadlock, was purposefully designed so that there was to much inter-departmental rivalry, which, in turn, prevented, or so was the aim, for any one person to attain enough power to become a political challenge to Hitler. His inner circle, inclusive of Himmler, were made of men he thought would swear personal fealty to him. Thus the whole project was designed with this one purpose: to understand his inner psyche. They must of taken a page from Sun Tzu, whom, if memory serves, did say something along the lines of 'to defeat one's enemy, you must first understand him'. Which circles back to Eva Braun. Obviously they didn't know as much about her as we do know now, but, again if my memory serves, the question was asked: what kind of woman would be in a romantic relationship with Hitler ...? Was she some hapless woman whom got involved in an abusive realationship with a domineering personality, and having no means of escape; was she an agreeable person, whom was more of an passive helpmate; or was she more a domineering personality in her own right. Naturally, this line of speculation led to whether their relationship was ever consummated, which, as Freudians, was a key aspect of his psyche, as was the question of whether he indulged in any fetishes/paraphilias. So really for them, and historians with an understanding of psychological now, Eva Braun wasn't so much interesting in her own right, but rather offered a window into the mind of Hitler: what was it about her that drew him to her, and vice-versa; what kind of relationship did they have; and so forth. If it was indeed a sexless one, as some evidence suggests it was, what kind of sexual repressions did he have, and did those repressions spilled over into how he acted as a leader; not only the way he treated those outside his inner circle, but even those within it, which in turn lead to whether, again due to his sexual repressions, his frustrations leaked over into an obsessive, but ultimately vindictive, personality, whom was on one hand vainglorious, in that he revelled in the praise heaped upon him in the victories, but was all too quick to blame others for incompetencies, despite the fact that it was his plans, and thus his orders, which where often to blame for the defeats. The biggest irony, though, lays in the summary of their report, and the predictions that was layed out in that it stated at some point, if Germany started to lose the war, Hitler will become increasingly withdrawn, and far more reclusive, and far less likely to be seen in public, due to his psyche slowly, but then increasingly, falling apart, being at once paranoid, but equally vindictive, against his own people, for not doing enough to win his war; this whilst at the same time becoming totally detached from reality, in as much as being convinced he was still able to win the war, or at least acheive a stalemate, even as the Rush ti Berlin, especially by the Russians, was taking place. This is in contrast to Winston Churchill, whom during both the Battle of Britain, and The Blitz, made an increasingly number of public appearances, in order to boost public morale. But with Hitler, the more inner fustrations he felt, and the more withdrawn he would become. This, in turn, would lead to a rapidly downward mental spiral, resulting, inevitably, in him committing suicide. Given the paucity of information they had to go on, the series of predictions made well before 1944/45, turned out to be not only remarkably accurate, but prescient too. So whilst Eva Braun isn't so much an intresting figure in her own right, as such, she does play an important part of understanding what kind of person Hitler was, and why exactly did he do what he did.

nigelft You know you needn't have typed all that crap, which was 90% badly phrased and confusing and 10% inaccurate; although I confess I didn't read it all. I didn't have to; I have seen the source material, right here on YT. All you had to do was tell people to do a YT search and watch "Inside the Mind of Hitler". It is excellent and that way people wouldn't have to try to interpret what you are saying about your understanding of it and what the documentary actually says. BTW more time is spent on Geli Raubal and whether or not Hitler actually had her pee on him as claimed by a disaffected follower of Hitler who had fled to Canada than Eva Braun. The major domo at the Berghof, whose wife was the housekeeper, said she and the maids always inspected the sheets for signs of sexual activity and there was none, but according to Albert Speer that was a ridiculous claim and he was sure Hitler and Eva hit the sheets regularly. To me none of it matters compared to the other information and interpretations in the documentary. To me he was a megalomaniacal nutter who convinced a whole nation to tacitly at the least condone his more barbaric actions and commit suicide with him.

Thank you for spreading the word :-)

Funnier fact....It was Bormann demanding Fegelein to be found. According to Heinz Linge and Rochus Misch, Bormann was screaming for Fegelein's whereabouts, Not H-Man.

@@cripplehawk interesting

It’s from Downfall

Fish...fish..fish...

Me too man 😂

With that little sproingy sound effect, lol

@Maria Kelly Star trek always enjoyed throwing some NAZI affiliation into some of their episodes !!!

Yes, that was sweet of him to say. Gas lighting narcissist looks more like it.

What does that mean .

Good thing I checked the comments, or else I would’ve posted the exact same thing

The assistants assistant 😂

I see him more as Todd Packer from The Office.

Hitler: “I’m hungry” Bormann running with food: “IM COMING ADOLF!!”

Nah. Goebbels was Dwight shrute equivalent in nazi leadership. Not Bormann.

Herman goering ( hr Mayer) where an upper class snop, just look at his clothes, art collection and the scepter he always carried around...

Bormann was extremely cunning, ambitious, and ruthless. He was formerly Rudolf Hess deputy and this position he used to his advantage

There is still a use for 'Low class thugs'

Funny thing about Goering. He idolized the Red Barron and wish he could be the next Red Barron. When Goering started the Luftwaffe, he made a special forces group called Red. In 1937 into 1938 the Red group was disbanded because of research Himmler and the SS discovery. The Red Barron, the German Empire best Ace fighter pilot, who died two weeks before WW1 ended, and won so many high achievements and awards was in fact Jewish. His father was Jewish and one of the heads of the Air Force and his mother was also Jewish with tides with the Army. After 1938 Goering did everything in his power with propaganda to over Shadow the Red Barron with his heroism during WW1. History books either over written the Red Barron stories as myth or deleted all together. History about the Red Barron was not brought back to Germany until 1946.

@@tiborklein5349 He was right about Streicher though.

I second this, Simon!

I’ll third that

I'm not finding a lot about him. There may not be enough info for a bio from us.

@@Biographics wow , you guys actually do take suggestions .

@@DH702.. Not really, but when I read through comments sometimes I am intrigued and will look into it, especially if there is an interesting note, such as an ancestor involved like this. But we have 100 bios in our queue already to do, so adding someone from a suggestion is rare. Sometimes we ask for a vote between people, but that is on our Community page and you would get a notification for that if you are subbed and clicked the bell for notifications. -Shell

This is really interesting.

That's fascinating. I shall have to obtain that book. Did Bormann have plans for eastern women "suitable for Germanisation" in the same vein as Polish children who were kidnapped and sent to Germany? Or were they all to be deported or killed? Certainly if one plans to give every German man a couple or more wives it would be smart to look for "suitably Germanic" foreign women whose husbands had been exterminated...

Makes sense because he wanted to kill all the Catholics after the Jewish people, if these murderous bastards won the war most of the world would resemble something like North Korea

VictorLepanto My thoughts exactly but I think Stalin was a bit more sophisticated

Absolutely right. No one saw Stalin coming either, and boy did they come to regret it! There are some differences: perhaps Stalin was a little less interested in kleptocracy than Bormann seems to have been; and even Stalin's victims in the purges (even Trotsky, to a certain degree!) had little disagreement with Stalin's results in increasing the glory and power of the CPSU, even as they themselves were being executed.

Or Halderman under Nixon.

@@markmerzweiler909 How was Nixon in any way like Lenin? I'd say Nixon was more like Kerensky, a hapless dupe of ruthless political operative using his naivete. B/t the Deep State types who wished to continue sponging off an ever growing federal gov't & the leftist revolutionary types (not always different from the Deep State) acting like Antifa & BLM today, Nixon didn't know what was coming at him.

@Axiom Steel26 I'd compare Beria to Julius Streicher, just for his perversity.

Josh Portal yp

Watch the photos. Bormann was everywhere. Lurking in the background and looking over everyone'shoulder. You had to watch out for him; he decided who was naughty or nice and he had Hitler's ear. For example: Fegelein, married to Eva's sister. (He was going to abandon her and run, but Eva didn't know that.) Eva asked Hitler to spare him and by this time Hitler didn't care so he asked Bormann why they couldn't just let him go, he didn't matter, but he didn't say, no, don't do it. So Bormann sent troops after. Him and had him shot.

I don't like the one add that begs for funds to impeach our great president .. other than that I enjoy the vids

Simon does a great job with the bio and the ads.

Noske's actions are largely responsible for the survival of the democratic Weimar Republic into the early 20's. Through politicking and brutal pragmatism he managed to stave off threats from both communists (Liebknecht, Luxemburg, etc.) and the far right (Kapp).

*Fegelein

ICH WILL FEGELEIN SEHEN! BRINGEN SIE MIR FEGELEIN!

You mean Fegelein. Not Fagelein.

Thank you :)

Aww

Thank you, Heidrich Is in the works right now actually :-)

That was sharp :) love this comment

Allied researchers called it " a model of inefficiency" in the Time-Life History of WWII. Hitler had set it up that way so he could take credit for himself, and blame others for their failures. It was also to keep all of the other "Little Hitlers" from gaining too much power themselves.

They weren't able to run a stable empire. That's a big part of why it fell.

@@_Abjuranax_ I've read that the overlap between different departments, organisations and whatnot made people compete against each other a lot, and that there was a lot of scheming and maneuvering going on among Nazi leaders on different levels, making things inefficient, which is the opposite of what most people think when they think about Nazi Germany.

It was a complete mess. Bormann was like Hitler's butler as well as his secretary; interpreting Hitler's vague whims and fancies into coherent orders for an army of undisciplined underlings. And the corruption! Dear Hell! The corruption in the National Socialist party was legendary. The bribes. The threats. Now stop for a second and spare a thought for what would have happened if the party wasn't so corrupt and undisciplined...

They didn't.

I might have cried the first time I saw it in another video. Lol. He's so handsome and smart. Well at least we have his videos. Lol. No disrespect to the Mrs.

They nearly always make some sort of mistake.

No one is perfect...so don't expect a perfect video anytime soon....

@@Belarus72 when you have a team of people working on it i don't feel it's too much to ask not to have mistakes in almost every video.

@@danielcadwell9812 Yea...that's true. You would think that they would catch each other's mistakes better. One time it was just me and another person working on this essay for work...we had like 4 or 5 mistakes...once we critiqued each other...then that is when we felt the essay was worthy enough to be published.

I’m just glad that the nice watch I bought back in 2000 has finally came back in style!

Makes me feel old.

@@sanderskovly7641 I havent watched the movie yet, was it good? Bormann is mentioned quite a lot in the book actually
