Two Injured In Accident Two young city residents Report Bormann Alive LONDON (UPI) London newspaper said today Martin Bormann, the object of one of the world's most intense hunts for Nazi criminals, is alive and hiding in South America. It said he was last seen Oct. 5 on the border between Argentina and Chile. The article, the first of a five- part series written for the London Daily Express by American writer Ladislas Farago and Express reporter Stewart Steven, was illustrated by three pictures reportedly snowing Bormann as he appeared Oct.

5. Bormann, deputy to Adolf Hitler, was sentenced to die by the Nuernberg tribunal, which tried him in absentia after World War II. Some experts believe he died with Kilter as the Third Reich collapsed. But the Daily Express said he is living under the names of Ricardo Bauer and Juan Gomez and when last known, he lived on an Argentine ranch owned by a member of the Krupp family, which was instrumental in arming Hitler's forces. "His last refuge, to which the Argentine secret service traced him only a few weeks ago, was in the province of Salta," the newspaper said.

"He was staying in a cottage on the Rancho Grande, the vast estate of Arndt von Bohlen und Halbach, last scion of the Krupp family." The Daily Express said it would offer "incontrovertible evidence" that Bormann did not die as many believe in 1945, but is instead a prosperous businessman with high ranking friends in several South American governments. According to Farago and Steven, Bormann fled in 1948 to Argentina by way of Genoa, Italy, to join a treasure he had sent on earlier. They said he was under the personal protection of Argentine dictator Juan Peron until Peron's ouster in 1955. "The documents show his astounding metamorphosis from a Nazi potentate into a man without a country, and then into a successful investor of the smuggled Nazi funds with a financial wizardry that has Monday, November Three Local Scouts Win Eagle Awards Who, Me?
