The mystery bridges of Martin Bormann's alleged Berlin skull--key clues for forensic identification or another Piltdown case?

Int Dent J. 1975 Sep;25(3):184-90.

Abstract

Dental records prepared by Martin Bormann's dentist Dr Hugo Blaschke in 1945 have been examined in the Captured Military Record Branch of the US National Archives in 1972 and compared with the direct evidence from examination of skeletal remains unearthed in Berlin in 1972 at a site next to Lehrter RR station where Bormann is known to have been seen alive for the last time on May 2, 1945. There is adequate qualitative and quantitative concurrence between all available antemortem and postmortem dental data to ascertain that the forensic identification of Martin Bormann can be considered established.
