| Nazi politician, born in Halberstadt, C Germany. He participated in the abortive Munich putsch of 1923 and became one of Hitler's closest advisers. He was made Reichsminister (party chancellor) in 1941, and was with Hitler to the last. His own fate is uncertain, but he was possibly killed by Russian snipers in the mass breakout by Hitler's staff from the Chancellery (1945). A skeleton accidentally uncovered by an excavator in Berlin in 1972 has been officially recognized as his by forensic experts. |
