May 10, 1941 Deputy Führer of the Third Reich Rudolf Hess provoked widespread intrigue and speculation, when he embarked on an astonishing flight to Scotland in one of the most bizarre episodes of World War II.
Hitler’s deputy flew solo for almost 1,000 miles from Bavaria in a Messerschmitt Bf110 before parachuting into a field near Eaglesham in Scotland, apparently on a one man peace mission in the days leading up to Germany’s invasion of Russia. HistoryPress.co.uk.
So how did Rudolf Hess obtain access to a fully fueled Messerschmidt 110 and essential meteorological information, before he took off from Germany and parachuted into Scotland except the whole episode was an inside job.
One version of events has Hess apprehended by a farmer armed with a pitchfork then held captive in his cottage, where the farmer says Hess insisted he was "Captain Alfred Horn" and that he had come to Scotland to meet the Duke of Hamilton. After getting taken into custody by the Home Guard, he was moved several times until finally ending up in the Maryhill Barracks in Glasgow.
According to the farmer's own account Hess's first words were, "am I on the estate of the Duke of Hamilton," another early account says Hess told the police his original intention had been to land at the landing strip at the Duke's residence at Dungavel, which he almost certainly would have known would be too short for the Me 110.
At the cottage the farmer's wife offered "Captain Horn" some tea which he declined in good English, before two soldiers from a nearby top secret anti-aircraft signals unit "suddenly appeared." One of whom was later to claim "high ranking Government officials were aware of his coming," and noted "no air-raid warnings were sounded, nor were the anti-aircraft gunnery control rooms plotting the course of Hess's plane alerted."
To make matters even more confusing the former soldier claims it was he and not the farmer who first apprehended Hess, nor is this discrepancy the only example of a possible coverup.AP@Voat.
Rudolf Hess the last known surviving member of the Nazi leadership died at age 93 Monday August, 17 1987, in West Berlin's Spandau Prison for war criminals, where he had spent 40 years in virtual solitary confinement .. the theory is despite he was never a real war criminal in any case, he was kept in prison incommunicado to prevent his revealing the truth re the rise of Hitler and Nazism from an insiders perspective.
Adolf Hitler and all of the top Nazis - including Rudolph Hess - were Jews, the non Jewish Nazis Ernst Röhm and the SA were liquidated in the Night of the Long Knives Massacres of June 1934, after H was appointed German Chancellor Jan. 30, 1933.
