It wasn't his body, but his skeletal remains. Also... Despite these DNA tests, there had and continues to be controversy regarding the authenticity of the remains. For example, Hugh Thomas' 1995 book Doppelgängers claimed there were forensic inconsistencies suggesting Bormann died later than 1945. Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal refused to accept the government's declaration of Bormann's death, persisting in the belief that Bormann escaped Berlin with Axmann and headed south to the safety of the Alps. There he was rumoured to have been seen in both Bavaria and Austria. In fact, Bormann's aide Wilhelm Zander was captured in Passau, along the Austrian frontier, in December 1945. From the Alps, Wiesenthal believed, Bormann and others escaped to South America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Borman#Discovery_of_remains_and_controversy_surrounding_identification May 18 11, 8:59 PM
