Daily News - 29.05.1987
Irmgard Bormann, a daughter of Hitler's secretary and top aide Martin Bormann, took a much different view.
"I always wanted a husband who would be just like my father. I never got him," she said, with her face obscured by special lighting to avoid recognition by the TV audience.
"I can't be made responsible for what he did. He tried to do the best. It's that way in life, either eat or be eaten," said Ms. Bormann, who the television producer said now resides in Italy.
She noted she was 12 years old when the war ended and her father disappeared, and consequently had known him well. "As a father, he was angry"

Gerda Bormann in hospital in Meran (Italy). Death is close but is assisted by his daughter Ilse Bormann (Eyke). I apologize for the quality of the photograph. Ilse died in 1958. This is perhaps the last photo for Gerda still alive.

Helge,
There is a small error in the translation of 25 Sep 2012; Theodor Schmitz was in 1941 priest in Berlin (not London).

Gerda Bormann is in the same grave of Gefreiter Horst Brugger.

Fuehrer's Headquarters
16. 1. 1943
My darling girl,
As I've told you, H.H.'s 1 visit today was by
no means a pleasure. He is deeply offended, and apparently
not just since yesterday or today. He feels unjustly treated
by the Chief, 2 and quoted examples to the effect from the
last few years. While worthless people were being treated
well, and even with distinction, he, H.H., was considered
good enough only for raising divisions, and so on and so
forth. He brushed aside all my objections. I told him: yes,
indeed, the Chief too has the right to be unjust once in a
while--aren't we all unjust again and again, in spite of our
best intentions? And in the case of H.H., I said, constant
high praise had to be set against a single instance of criticism.
But it was no use. H.H.'s criticism was so very bitter, and
at times so acid, that in other circumstances I should have
had no choice but to get up and say: 'I'm sorry, but I must
take my leave from you and take off your uniform. The
Fuehrer is the Fuehrer, and he is beyond all criticism!'
I made allowances for H.H.'s state of nervous strain and
told him so; I said that, because of this nervous strain, he was
taking a lopsided and distorted view of things. Four weeks'
rest, and he himself would once more remember and duly
appreciate the Fuehrer's gigantic achievements and his
twenty-three years of ceaseless, restless effort. If nerves
played the devil with all of us at times, it was no wonder
that something of the sort happened to the Fuehrer whose
task was super-human. All the same, he towered over us like
Mt. Everest. And even if he were to dismiss us in a sudden
fit of anger, we would still have to be bound to him in
deepest gratitude--to our dear Fuehrer!

Why did they speak english ? Why Chief...why not Der Führer ?
Re: Martin Bormann & his wife Gerda
Topspeed,
speak english because the letters have been translated. In the book there are the original letters and translations.

Re: Martin Borman & his wife Gerta
This is a common error in English translations. I've seen it also in translations of some of Hitler's secretaries' memoirs, and others of the Inner Circle. They called Hitler "der Chef" (not to his face!) -- the Boss. But many translators do not understand that Chef = Boss, not Chief.Topspeed wrote:Why did they speak english ?
