Portrait of Nazi official Martin Bormann. Text at the bottom reads "Martin Bormann. Born 1900, died? Member of Freikorps, racist, enemy of Christianity, Head of Nazi Chancellry [sic] and Hitler's secretary, 1943-1945. Most feared and influential in Nazi Hierarchy. Question: Did Bormann die in [a] Berlin bunker or did he escape? In absentia, he was found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to death by hanging, Nuremberg, 1946. 'National Socialism and Christian concepts are incompatible. Our National Socialist world view stands on a much higher level than the concepts of Christianity, which in their essentials were taken over from Judaism. For this reason, too, we can do without Christianity.' M.B. 1942."
