Hello, I've been wondering something. I've played Bormann once and tried to go with Hans Spiedel instead of Ferdinand Schorner but I eventually got couped by him. Is there a strategy on how to play Bormann, go down Spiedel's path and not get couped by Schorner?
Okay it's Martin Bormann, but by a hair

Can someone send me a Pic of Bormanns tree?
Right now I'm in the mid-70s, All of the RK's are reunited with the Reich, done all of the focus, RK(Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, etc) and the last of the Economic(very OP) focus, I think it called "New Golden Age" or something like that. The economy of all the RK's are integrated, no more degenerate slaves. Did I forget anything to get a new Focus Tree?
And I have volunteers stuck in Arabia and Persia, the wars never ended even though their enemies have 100% been occupied.
PS: not a native English speaker, sorry for any error.
How is he gonna fix Germany when he thinks they Reich is as good as it is even though it's in a bad situation? Goering at least rewards ppl that can be trusted is going to liberalize thr market for example so how will Bormann fix the mess? And for those saying why I don't play the game myself well I can't(school n shit)
I've been reading a book about the History of Espionage and it mentions Werther, a Soviet spy so valuable it gave the location of German divisions and where the attacks would unfold sometimes before the generals in the Eastern Front got these orders. Most notably in the battle of Kursk, where this information helped to win that battle. It says that the only men to possibly be that spy would be high-ranking officials, and by exclusion of parts, it leaves Martin Bormann as the most possible answer. Is this true? Is there another indication of he having communist sympathies or any suspicion towards him?
A writing based on the fact that in the demo Bormann has a claim on the port of Los Angeles
Heydrich had been shot by Himmler and his land seized by that madman Himmler, Speer had been shot by some extremist student and had his movement taken over, and Goering had been couped by unruly generals, and that made Bormann the last surviving member of what most considered Hitler’s successors, this however did not mean he won the civil war, not by a long shot, actually. His last ditch attempt at nuking the German territory held by the others had done little to prevent his capitulation, and he had been forced to flee across the Atlantic under a false name to one piece of land that Germany held in the Northwestern hemisphere, the port of Los Angeles. Although he could have sworn that the Japanese got it after the Second World War, the maps that he had printed claimed that Germany owned them, and the maps couldn’t have been wrong, could they? But no matter, after weeks of trekking across America he was here, the port of Los Angeles, except that it had the Japanese flag flying above the checkpoint into it, figures, while Germany was in flames the vultures had come to feed on her corpse. This would pose an issue, he couldn’t take control of the port while it was under Japanese occupation, and the Americans seemed to hold a less than favorable view of him, but he hadn’t come this far to simply give up now, he would need to plan.

From what Bormann had learned from residents of the cities as well as old newspapers the port is a veritable fortress due to constant terrorist attacks on it from upset Americans, so a head on assault would likely get him killed, so he would have to opt for a stealthy approach instead. So using some bolt cutters he bought, along with a cheap hunting rifle he bought under the guise of “Keepin’ dem gotdamn Japanese sunso’ bitches off his lawn” (spoken in the flawless American accent he had been practicing), he proceeded to break into the port and begin his infiltration.
[November 5th, 1965, 23:00]
After a very hard fought battle involving the punching of many random dock workers by Bormann that, much like Operation Sealion, should have in no universe worked at all, never mind as well as it did, Bormann had managed to seize the port from the Japanese who had stolen it from Germany, promising the garrison that was left positions as honorary Aryans should they swear loyalty to him, and with the reasoning of “f

This YouTuber makes the case that Bormann probably died like the official account says he did and that Hitler is probably also dead.
The History Channel has this show Hunting Hitler about figuring out where Hitler really went and how he survived the fall of Berlin. There is a previously discussed video makes the case that Hitler died in 45 in Berlin. The History channel show Hunting Hitler has a whole season so there are more theories of dubious value. The episode were discussing today is about Martin Bormann, a high ranking Nazi official. He may have fled Berlin on an airplane, then gone to South America, possibly taking Hitler with him, as the History Channel suggests. But maybe he didn't?
In the inner cirkle of Hitler you had men like Göring and Himmler who got close because of there loyality and skills (the Luftwaffe & Holocaust) but what was the "moveset" of Martin Bormann? Anx how did he get so close to the Fürhrer?
tl;dnr: What it says in the title. Martin Bormann, coming out of hiding as a Paraguayan millionaire with a supposed Golden Ticket, sought entrance into Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Bormann likely assumed that he could either buy Wonka off with his wealth, and/or to try to steal Wonka's business secrets by gaining entrance to his factory.
Evidence I: Martin Bormann, Nazi and South American Millionaire
It's been confirmed that the Paraguayan millionaire who produced the Golden Ticket is, in fact, Martin Bormann, who assumed leadership of the Nazi Party after Hitler's death.
While the director claims that he meant to use Bormann's photo as a joke, especially given the claims of "Nazis fleeing to South America" after WWII. However, for the sake of this theory, and assuming that the Wonka-verse is an alternate universe from our own, that Bormann, who died shortly after Hitler in our universe, indeed managed to flee to South America successfully after WWII.
Let's say that Bormann, in the Wonka-verse, then somehow makes a fortune by going into business, becoming a millionaire by 1971, the year the events of the film, for argument's sake, take place in.
Evidence II: Why Bormann Fabricated a Golden Ticket
If Bormann is a "Paraguayan millionaire", then what Bormann made his millions in, or from? Given how Veruca Salt's father made his fortune in the peanut industry, another candy-related sector, let's assume that Bormann made his millions in none other than the cocoa, or chocolate, industry.
More specifically, Bormann likely made his fortune as one of South America's "cocoa barons".
> During the late 19th and much of the 20th century, a small patch of paradise in southern Bahia, a state in Northeast Brazil, was the #1 producer of cocoa in the world. It was also the realm of Brazil’s cocoa barons.
> Cacao trees were native to the Brazilian Amazon. But in the 1700s, Brazilian colonists decided to see if cacao would take to the fertile soil of the coastal region surrounding the tiny town of Ilhéus. Cacao thrives in the shade, and the native Atlantic forest – a rainforest more ancient than the Amazon – provided a natural canopy that allowed trees to reach heights of 40 feet.
> In the late 1800s, spurred on by industrialization, the world’s cocoa market exploded. Adventurers from Brazil and around the world sailed, rode

I'm being a little facetious. I was helping a student with a research assignment, and we started reading about Hitler's Table Talk Wikipedia. Then who should appear but Jesus Myth-er Extraordinaire, Dr. Richard Carrier, who co-wrote an article insisting that the English and French edition of the Table Talk was altered by its translator, Francois Genoud, in order to make Hitler's thoughts on Christianity seem more bigoted than they actually were and are therefore, forgeries and worthless as historical documents. They then turn around and offer a "corrected" translation that paints Hitler as a committed Christian; what Carrier calls "a candid Protestant."
So why's this bad history?
-
Carrier is operating approximately an entire millenia outside of his expertise.
-
While there are some concerns about the accuracy of the English translation, the most significant historians of the Third Reich (Hugh Trevor-Roper, Ian Kershaw, Richard Evans) treat the Table Talk as a viable historical document, albeit with some degree of caution, as the level of editing from Bormann is unknown.
-
There is no evidence to support Carrier's thesis, and no historian has embraced it.
-
Francois Genoud was an ardent Nazi; it would go against his own biases to make Hitler look like a dedicated Christian (ie, look better in the eyes of the west in the 1950s), than to twist Hitler's words to make him look anti-clerical and explicitly anti-Christian. Genoud himself denied making any edits to the Bormann text.
If anything, this should support the contention that Carrier will go to any lengths to support an anti-Christian bias in his scholarship. I mean, if you're willing to make Hitler look less bad to make Christians look good, then you're on some pretty shaky historiography.
