Lot 5096 | Martin Bormann - weißer Sommerrock als Reichsleiter
Weißer Sommerrock mit vier Taschen, leichte Trage- und Alterungsspuren und geringen braunen Flecken. Handvernähte Reichsleiter-Kragenspiegel, Armbinde und "Blutorden"-Band an der linken Brusttasche. Die Abzeichen mit leichten Alterungsspuren, aber ohne Mottenbefall. Das seidene Innenfutter mit Trage- und Alterungsspuren, jedoch unbeschädigt. Schneideretikett von "LODENFREY, MÜNCHEN MASSABTEILUNG" mit dem Firmenwappen. Die linke Innentasche mit RZM-Etikett und erneutem Schneideretikett "LODENFREY MÜNCHEN MASSABTEILUNG" sowie Namen "REICHSL. BORMANN", datiert 29.4.39. Martin Bormann (17. Juni 1900 – 2. Mai 1945) war Leiter der Partei-Kanzlei. Er hatte immensen Einfluss aufgrund seiner Position als Hitlers Privatsekretär, indem er Informationsfluss und Zugang zu Hitler kontrollierte. Bormann wurde 1927 Mitglied der NSDAP und 1937 der SS. Nach anfänglicher Arbeit innerhalb der Partei wurde er 1937 im Büro des stellvertretenden Führers Rudolf Hess Stabschef. Bormann bekam Zugriff auf den inneren Kreis um Hitler, begleitete diesen überall hin und versorgte ihn mit Informationen. Ab 1935 wurde er Hitlers Privatsekretär, eine Position zu der er erst 1943 offiziell ernannt wurde. Nach dem Flug von Hess nach England am 10. May 1941 übernahm Bormann dessen Funktionen mit dem Titel Leiter der Partei-Kanzlei. Bormann war zusammen mit Hitler im Führerbunker in Berlin als die Rote Armee auf Berlin marschierte. Nach dem Selbstmord Hitlers versuchte Bormann am 2. Mai zusammen mit anderen der Gefangennahme durch die Sowjets zu entgehen. Es gilt als gesichert, dass Bormann in der Nähe der Lehrter Station Selbstmord beging. Er wurde am 8. Mai dort in der Nähe begraben und erst 1972 dort gefunden und identifiziert. Bormann wurde in Abwesenheit im Nürnberger Tribunal angeklagt und wegen Kriegsverbrechen und Verbrechen gegen die Menschheit zum Tode durch den Strang verurteilt.
Provenienz: Notariell beglaubigte Dokumentation von US-Soldat Robert G. Eiland, 7. US-Regiment der 3. Infanterie-Division, der die Uniform aus Hitlers Berghof "befreite" und die Kragenspiegel sowie die Armbinde entfernte. Die Uniform zusammen mit einem 125-seitigen selbst verlegten Buch, welches seine Erlebnisse während des 2. Weltkrieges beschreibt, inklusive der Geschichte zu dieser Uniform.

Martin Bormann (17 June 1900 – 2 May 1945) was a prominent official during the Third Reich and head of the NSDAP Chancellery. He gained immense power within the Third Reich using his position as Adolf Hitler's private secretary to control the information and access to Hitler. Bormann joined the National-Socialistic Party in 1927 and the SS in 1937. After working within the party, in July 1933 he transferred to the office of Deputy Rudolf Hess, where he served as chief of staff. Bormann gained acceptance into Hitler's inner circle, and accompanied him everywhere, providing briefings and summaries of events and requests. He began acting as Hitler's personal secretary in 1935, a post to which he was officially appointed in 1943. After Hess' solo flight to Britain on 10 May 1941, Bormann assumed Hess' former duties, with the title of Head of the Parteikanzlei. Bormann was with Hitler in the Führerbunker in Berlin as the Red Army approached the city. After Hitler committed suicide, Bormann and others attempted to flee Berlin on 2 May to avoid capture by the Soviets. It is believed that Bormann committed suicide on a bridge near Lehrter Station. The body was buried nearby on 8 May 1945, but was not found and confirmed as genuine until 1972. Bormann was tried in absentia by the International Military Tribunal in the Nuremberg trials of 1945 and 1946. He was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging.
Provenance: Notarized documentation from the US serviceman Robert G. Eiland assigned to the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division who "liberated" the uniform from Hitler’s home in Berchtesgaden and removed collar tabs and armband. Lot includes a self published 125 page book describing his experiences during WWII with the 3rd Division including his acquisition of the jacket.
