The Grand Reich Chancellery was a hive of political infighting and backbiting, as rivals with ill-defined jobs fought against each other for Hitler's favour.
Hitler's working life was organised not by one private office, but by five: the office of the Reich Chancellery, under Hans Heinrich Lammers; the office of Hitler's personal adjutant, under Wilhelm Bruckner; the office of the Presidential Chancellery, under Otto Meissner; on the second floor, the office of the Chancellery of the Führer, under Philipp Bouhler; and finally, the office representing the Führer's deputy, under Martin Bormann.
