FRANKFURT, Germany — In an attempt to prevent neo-Nazis from building a shrine in Germany, prosecutors ordered the remains of Hitler’s secretary, Martin Bormann, committed to the Baltic Sea, a magazine said Sunday.
Der Spiegel said that Bormann’s remains were scattered two weeks ago after prosecutors ordered his skeleton cremated.
Bormann, who was sentenced to death in absentia for war crimes in 1946, was long rumored to be alive after World War II. DNA tests last year revealed that a skeleton dug up in 1972 was Bormann.
