11. Martin Adolf Bormann

Martin Adolf Bormann was the eldest of ten children born to Martin Bormann, Adolf Hitler’s private secretary and the head of the Nazi Party’s Chancellery. Martin Adolf was Hitler’s first godson, and he grew up as an ardent Nazi, while his father’s power steadily grew within the Nazi hierarchy. Unfortunately for Bormann, Sr., he reached the pinnacle of power just as Nazi Germany came crashing down, and he disappeared in the war’s closing days while trying to escape from a besieged Berlin. His corpse was recovered and identified in 1972.
