His group attempted to follow a German tank, but according to Kempka, who was with him, it received a direct hit from a Russian shell and Bormann was almost certainly killed. 他这一伙人企图尾随一辆德国坦克，但据同他在一起的肯普卡说，一颗俄国炮弹直接命中这辆坦克，鲍曼几乎肯定被打死了。
Kempka had some difficulty in rounding up so much fuel but he managed to collect some 180 liters and with the help of three men carried it to the emergency exit of the bunker. 要弄这许多汽油很困难，但肯普卡还是搞到了大约一百八十公升，找了三个人帮忙把汽油送到地下避弹室的紧急出口处。
