Albert Bormann was brother to high ranking nazi officer Martin Bormann. Albert Bormann (2rd September 1902 - 8 April 1989) was a German Nazi Party official who served as a personal adjutant to Adolf Hitler and as the chief of a main office in Hitler's Chancellery. He reached the general rank of Gruppenführer in the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK) during World War II. He was the younger brother of Martin Bormann, private secretary to Adolf Hitler and chief of the Nazi Party Chancellery. In 1927, Albert Bormann joined the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazi paramilitary organization and, on April 27, he joined the Nazi Party (NSDAP membership number 60,507). He was the Gauführer of the Hitler Youth in Thuringia from 1929 to 1931. In April 1931, Martin Bormann gained his brother a job with the Nazi Party Relief Fund in Munich. By October 1931, Bormann was assigned to Kanzlei des Führers (Hitler's Chancellery). It was responsible for the Nazi Party and associated organizations and their dealings directly with Adolf Hitler. After rising to the rank of SA-Sturmbannführer, Bormann left the SA and joined the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK) where he eventually was promoted to NSKK-Gruppenführer. Bormann was different from his older brother, Martin. He was tall, cultured and "Avoided the limelight". Bormann believed he was serving the greater good and did not use his position for personal gain. He became friends with SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Philipp Bouhler, the chief of Hitler's Chancellery (Der Chef der Kanzlei des Führers der NSDAP).
Hitler was fond of Bormann and found him to be trustworthy.
