Note 8
From Martin Bormann, by Joachim C. Fest— See further Notes

Bormann was labelled 'Hitler's evil spirit' in the report of one of Hitler's secretaries recorded by Albert Zoller. Alfred Rosenberg, Letzte Aufzeichnungen, and Hans Frank, Im Angesicht des Galgens, have drawn from this the aforementioned conclusion that Bormann had corrupted Hitler, an idea which could only have been dreamt up by naive National Socialists like Frank and Rosenberg.
