Wasnt it Hess, Hitlers deputy who parachuted into Scotland out of his Messerschmitt after making a solo flight from Germany in 1939/40. He was arrested and imprisoned and stayed incarcerated long after the war.i can never remember a satisfactory explanation why. He came in the first place, He was the only POW kept incommunicado in some German castle converted for a prison. It is long after any silence period. Does anyone know the truth of why he came and why he was kept in solitary for so long ?? JWS

some say he came to try and see if the British wanted to join the Germans? even hitler supposed to have said if Britain joined germany they could rule the world?? hess was found hanging in spandow prison anyway I don't think the whole story will ever come out? jp

To leave all his money in this manner shows that not all Germans were bad.
War makes odd friends and enemies at times and this is an example of how good can come from bad.

Hess I thought was held long after the wars end and for some reason was not to be set free.

So many stories of such, makes one wonder just where the truth lies.

#3... you can google it and get the official report on it John. As everyone else though you have to take it as the truth and at face value. Most things like that I keep an. Open mind for any change of policy by the present policy makers. The present two newsmen arrested in Myanmar for so called breaking the official secrets act, just may. Have done so. they may have regardless of some of their associates scorn. Different countries have their own rules which a lot of us learned at a very early age. Maybe they are slow learners. JS

"Historian Uncovers New Account
Document Suggests Hitler Knew of Hess' British Flight Plans

"...Hess's flight to Britain almost exactly 70 years ago has remained one of the great mysteries of World War II to this day. What compelled the Führer's right-hand man to risk his life on a spring day when 500 German bombers were carrying out their heaviest attack yet on London? Why did he offer peace to Great Britain at a time when it was the Wehrmacht's last fighting enemy and Hitler was preparing to attack the Soviet Union?
Until now, historians had assumed that Hitler's deputy was acting on his own. "Hess acted without Hitler's knowledge, but in the deep (if confused) belief that he was carrying out his wishes," British author Ian Kershaw wrote in his 2008 book, "Hitler: A Biography". But now a previously unpublished document is casting Hess's notorious one-way trip in a new light: A 28-page, handwritten report that historian Matthias Uhl of the German Historical Institute Moscow discovered in the State Archive of the Russian Federation.
The document was written in February 1948 by a man who was closely associated with Hess: his adjutant Karlheinz Pintsch, a Soviet war prisoner from 1945 to 1955. Pintsch, a businessman who joined the Nazi Party early on, had accompanied Hess to the airfield. The next day he had Hitler's aides wake up the Führer at his mountain retreat in Obersalzberg to give him a letter. According to eyewitnesses, the letter began with the words: "My Führer, when you receive this letter I shall be in England."
Contrary to the prevailing view, Hitler, according to the Pintsch account, was not furious in the least when he received the news. "Hitler calmly listened to my report and dismissed me without comment," Pintsch writes. The Führer had known about Hess's flight for a while, the adjutant claims in his report, because Berlin had also been negotiating with London for some time. The flight, Pintsch writes, occurred "by prior arrangement with the English." Hess's mission, he adds, was to "use all means at his disposal to achieve, if not a German military alliance with England against Russia, at least the neutralization of England."

john in the news/press of today if you don't see it with your own eyes you cant trust a word that comes out in the press there are far to many coverups in the worlds governments? jp

Some say Hess was held a prisoner at the Soviets request. The allies wanted to fee him after a period, but the Soviets refused point blank to entertain Hess's freedom.
One of the reasons given was that by keeping Hess a prisoner, the Soviets maintained a toe hold in the Way.
