Party Chancellery
Party Chancellery was the name of the office that replaced that of Deputy Fuhrer of the NSDAP (Nazi Party), after Rudolf Hess made his flight to Britain in 1941. It was responsible for handling Nazi Party affairs.
Martin Bormann, who first served as Hess' secretary, then later Adolf Hitler's secretary, was appointed head of the Party Chancellery after Hitler had publicly stripped Hess of his office when his flight to Britain became known. Bormann used this office to restrict access to Hitler and to further party influence in areas such as armaments and manpower. Armaments Minister Albert Speer complained about Bormann's interfering with his staff in this manner.
