The German leaders were not only concerned about the imposition of communism, but also feared what Soviet soldiers anxious to gain revenge for the war crimes committed against their people by the SS might do. Martin Bormann holds great compassion and seeks to be of service to others. Despite these accounts by Linge and Kempka, rumours circulated that Bormann had managed to escape to South America. Therefore, compulsory vaccination and German health service are superfluous. According to Louis L. Snyder: "Bormann rose steadily in the Nazi hierarchy. By the end of April soldiers of the Red Army were only 300 yards away from Hitler's underground bunker. He remained pleasant and was always ready to be of service to equals and those above him.

Schroeder later recalled: "He received us in his room looking tired, pale and listless. The Bormann myth began in the dying days of the Third Reich. Under the protection of this panzer heading for the tank barrier, Bormann, Naumann and Stumpfegger doubled forward while I watched. "Martin BormannIn 1933 Albert Bormann married a woman of whom his brother disapproved because she was not Nordic. If anyone happened to stop him during this short walk (some fifty or sixty yards), he was forced either to sit down on one of the seats placed along the walls for the purpose, or to catch hold of the person he was speaking to Often saliva would dribble from the comers of his mouth presenting a hideous and pitiful spectacle.".
