SOLVES
THE
MYSTERY
OF
THE LOST
NAZI
WAR
CRIMINAL
As
Adolf
Hitler had
committed
suicide
April 1945,
many descendents
of
the millions
of
victims killed ruthlessly
during
the
War were
after
Martin
-
Nazi's "number two".
He
was deliver-
ing
the will ol
Adoll
but
was intercepted
by
the
Russian
Army.
Martin
commit-
ted suicide
beside
the
body of Adolf's
private physician.
However,
much
controversy persisted. ln
1965,
the
High
Court
of
Frankfurt had
to
issue
an
order to excavate
(in
vain) the site
in
Berlin. A nearby site
was
re-excavated
in 1972 and the two bodies were finally
found. The carcass
of
the physician
can
be identified
lrom
a
lracture
rib but not
even a dental X-ray film
was
available
to confirm Martin's
identity.
This created
so
much
stir on
part of
the descendenls
cf
Martin
that
in 1996,
a
DNA analysis
of the
carcass
had
to
be
ordered
by
the
Attorney General
of
Frankfurt.
Blood
was taken
lrom
the
descendents
but
the
routine DNA analysis
on
the rotten
skull
bone
failed
to
arrive
at
definite
conclusions.
Finally, they
had
to
consult
the
Forensic Medicine lnstitute
ol
Munich in order
to utilize
a very
special technique
ol
employing
mitochondrial
DNA analysis to prove
the
skull
really belonged
to
Martin.
