MARTIN BORMANN'S JESUIT CONNECTIONS

 MARTIN BORMANN’S JESUIT CONNECTIONS

In a previous article, I discussed the various Jesuit connections to Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. In this article, we are going to take a look at another man who was in Hitler’s malevolent inner circle. This man, Martin Bormann, started out as Rudolf Hess’ chief of staff. Years later, after Hess was captured, Bormann became the official head of the Nazi Party Chancellery, only to be followed by becoming the personal secretary to the “Führer” himself. By the end of the war, Bormann was considered by many to be Hitler’s right-hand man and his ultimate successor. Clearly, Bormann was a remarkably important figure in the Third Reich. It should be no surprise then that we discover certain links between Bormann and Rome. For, after all, all roads lead to Rome (Revelation 17). 

Rudolph Höss (not to be confused with Hitler’s former Deputy Rudolf Hess), was the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp, which of course, made him a prominent figure in the Holocaust. As we will see, Höss mentioned what Bormann thought about the Jesuits in his memoirs and just on a quick side note, Höss just so happened to be a baptized, Eucharist-receiving Roman Catholic.

Volker Koop, quoting and commenting on Höss’ memoirs, writes the following:

“In Cracow prison, however, waiting for his execution, he wrote that he had been Bormann’s guest in spring 1935 together with some comrades from his time in the free corps in Mecklenburg. At that time Bormann was living in Pullach near Munich. His property was bordered by a newly built Jesuit school. Höß explained regarding this: 

According to Bormann’s knowledge and account this is apparently furnished completely in line with modern requirements and managed in an exemplary manner. During our visit a class of these Jesuit students were running towards the playing field, all of them tall, slim yet strong figures of a uniform type. They could have been immediately absorbed into the 1st company of the Leibstandarte [Bodyguard Standard]. Bormann now turned the subject to the Jesuits and their principles of education. Their basic principle, to unconditionally subordinate one’s own will to the idea, has to be essential for the SS, too, if it ought to become the sword arm of the National Socialist movement. Soon after an essay appeared in the ‘Black Corps’ [‘Schwarzer Korps’], the journal of the SS, which addressed this thought in more detail under a pseudonym.”

None other than a Jesuit priest and professor at a Jesuit college even admits to these facts penning:

“We also know from the memoirs of the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolph Höss, that Hitler’s important aide Martin Bormann was very impressed with the Jesuits. Bormann’s home was adjacent to the Jesuit house of studies in Pullach, and he admired what he saw as the Jesuit capacity for unconditional subordination and regulation.”

Paul Manning, writing on the subject of Bormann’s wife and children enumerates:

“His wife, Gerda, whom he married in 1929… She appointed a Roman Catholic priest as the executor of her will and as guardian of her ten children. The eldest, Adolf Martin, named for his godfather, Adolf Hitler, became a Jesuit priest, serving the order for years in the Congo.”

Not only did Martin Bormann’s eldest son end up becoming a Jesuit priest, Bormann himself was assisted by the Vatican’s ratlines and was disguised as a Jesuit priest for the purpose of concealing his identity until he could be smuggled out of Europe.

“According to documents cited by Paul Manning, Martin Bormann arrived in Argentina in 1948, via the ratline established through Genoa, Italy, on a freighter disguised as a Jesuit priest.”

Nino Lo Bello expounding upon this states:

“No doubt the most prominent ex-Nazi who made his getaway with the help of ODESSA and through the Vatican was Martin Bormann, easily the biggest Third Reich fish still at large today. Bormann had become a fairly good friend of Pope Pius XII when Pius was the papal nuncio in Germany for 12 years, and this may have played a role in the way the Vatican treated his case after the war. In May 1948 Bormann — dressed in the garb of a Jesuit priest, sported Vatican papers to show he was a stateless person (they carried the official number 073.909 with Pope Pius’s signature). Strangely enough, for one dressed as a Jesuit, Bormann’s papers showed him to have been born in Poland with the name of Eliezer Goldstein, a name usually thought of as Jewish. It got him to Brazil, nonetheless. It also got five of his children away from Europe later on, in 1950, after they were housed for several days in the Pallottine Order’s monastery in Rome. Carrying American passports in false names that were arranged by the Catholic Church, the Bormann children left for South America. During his services as Hitler’s secretary, Bormann became one of the most powerful men in Berlin. Exercising considerable influence over Hitler, he was a guiding force in the persecution of Jews and the exploitation of slave labor. On May 2, 1945, he left the bunker where Hitler had [allegedly] committed suicide and tried to escape. Fellow fugitives later reported that he had died when a German tank blew up near him after being hit by a Soviet shell. But the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal found the evidence of his death ‘not conclusive’ and convicted him in absentia of war crimes and crimes against humanity in 1946. That Bormann was able to get into Argentina by some devious routing can be attributed to the Vatican’s rapport with that country’s former president, Juan Perén.”
