In August [[1942]], Bormann accompanied Hitler and his secret lover, [[Eva Braun]], to a ball in Berlin. He was one of the only people Hitler trusted enough to tell him about the relationship. He oversaw the couple's [[blood]] tests conducted by [[Sixth Doctor|Major General Johann Schmitt]] and [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier General Braun]] to ensure their racial compatibility. | In August [[1942]], Bormann accompanied Hitler and his secret lover, [[Eva Braun]], to a ball in Berlin.

By August [[1944]], Bormann had accepted that Germany was likely to lose the [[war]]. He began planning [[Operation Eagle Flight]], laying the groundwork for the continuation of the Nazi crusade even after defeat. He called a secret meeting with German [[business]] leaders in [[Strasbourg]] to gather the necessary financial resources to fund such an ambitious venture. Over 700 front [[corporation]]s set up by Bormann were used to spirit away [[money]], [[gold]], bonds, [[copyright]]s and [[patent]]s, all of which went detected by the [[Allies]]. | By August [[1944]], Bormann had accepted that Germany was likely to lose the [[war]].

In [[April]] [[1945]], Bormann was among the senior-ranking Nazis who retreated into the [[Führerbunker]] as [[Battle of Berlin|Berlin was invaded]] by the [[Soviet Union|Soviets]]. Along with [[Joseph Goebbels]], he remained one of the only party leaders to maintain his [[loyalty]] to Hitler. | In [[April]] [[1945]], Bormann was among the senior-ranking Nazis who retreated into the [[Führerbunker]] as [[Battle of Berlin|Berlin was invaded]] by the [[Soviet Union|Soviets]].

Hitler and Eva announced to everyone their intention to commit [[suicide]] but Bormann was part of a top-secret plan to smuggle the [[Pregnancy|pregnant]] Eva out of the city. On [[30 April]], Hitler killed himself while Eva was merely placed into a [[death]]-like state. Bormann [[murder]]ed [[Claire Aldwych]] and used her [[body]] as a decoy for Eva Braun's, burning her alongside Hitler. Bormann and Eva then escaped Berlin in a [[Aeroplane|plane]] flown by [[Hans Baur]]. They arrived in Hamburg and escaped via submarine to [[Neuschwabenland]] before the [[British Army|British forces]] arrived. | Hitler and Eva announced to everyone their intention to commit [[suicide]] but Bormann was part of a top-secret plan to smuggle the [[Pregnancy|pregnant]] Eva out of the city.
