London - Conspiracy theorists who believe Martin Bormann may have survived the second World War have written to the his family, pleading with them not to destroy his remains, it emerged yesterday. They fear that the surviving children of Hitler's right-hand man may have already cremated Bormann's skull, after DNA test results last week proved it was his.
They accept that the skull - found on a Berlin building site in 1972 - is Bormann's. But they insist that further tests must be done on the teeth and on the earth the skull was encased in to establish exactly when and where he died.
