After Hitler and the Nazis came to power in [[Germany]] in [[1933]], Bormann managed paperwork and administration roles involved in the [[Government|governance]] of the [[Third Reich]] - tasks which Hitler himself had little interest in. | After Hitler and the Nazis came to power in [[Germany]] in [[1933]], Bormann managed paperwork and administration roles involved in the [[Government|governance]] of the [[Third Reich]] - tasks which Hitler himself had little interest in. | ||
In late [[1936]], Bormann was present in Hitler's [[office]] when [[Joachim von Ribbentrop]], as German [[ambassador]] to the [[United Kingdom]], promised the [[Führer]] he was on the cusp of securing an [[alliance]] with the [[British government]]. However, when Ribbentrop failed and reported back to Hitler, the latter wrecked his office in an intense rage, ([[PROSE]]: | In late [[1936]], Bormann was present in Hitler's [[office]] when [[Joachim von Ribbentrop]], as German [[ambassador]] to the [[United Kingdom]], promised the [[Führer]] he was on the cusp of securing an [[alliance]] with the [[British government]].

([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)}}) Bormann, noting the alarming frequency of these fits, enlisted the service of [[Doctor|Dr.]] [[The War Chief|Felix Kriegslieter]] for assistance. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Players (novel)}}) | ||
At the end of [[August]] [[1939]], the [[Seventh Doctor]] met Bormann at a party rally in [[Nuremberg]]. Bormann was quickly on the scene when Hitler succumbed to the Timewyrm's powers again. The Doctor guessed that Bormann had a calming effect on Hitler, hence why none of his fits ever happened in Bormann's presence. Bormann grew suspicious of Kriegslieter's proximity to the vulnerable Führer but saw few other options given that he knew little about Hitler's condition. | At the end of [[August]] [[1939]], the [[Seventh Doctor]] met Bormann at a party rally in [[Nuremberg]].

A few [[day]]s later, on [[3 September]] [[1939]] two [[hour]]s before the [[World War II|declaration of war]] by Britain and [[France]], Bormann appeared outside Hitler's office alongside Ribbentrop and [[Hermann Goering]]. They brought news of setbacks encountered by the [[Wehrmacht|German forces]] during [[Invasion of Poland|the campaign]] in [[Poland]] that required Hitler's attention.

Bormann died circa [[2001]] after living into [[old age]]. Hitler Jr. was critical of Bormann's cautious approach which he felt had delayed the coming of the Fourth Reich. However, he also admired Bormann's "excellent grasp of the big picture" and "incisive and analytical way of looking at things", and affectionately added that he would be missed.

* Martin Bormann was tried ''in absentia'' at the [[Nuremberg trials]], as the tribunal assumed he was still alive and had fled Berlin. He was found guilty on two of the three charges against him and sentenced to death by hanging. While the Nuremberg trials have been mentioned in the [[Doctor Who universe|DWU]], Bormann has not been mentioned to have been a defendant. | |||
