I'm loving your documentaries on high profile people from WW2. The only little point I would like to raise on this doc is that at 14:19 you say Hitler got released from Landsberg Prison after serving only a year of his 5 year sentence. He actually only served just over 8 1/2 months of his 5 year sentence, or historically noted to be incarcerated for 264 days in Landsberg prison. Keep up the good work.. 🙂

It's unfortunate that the nine books Hess wrote while in Spandu are not available. I managed to get one of them and it gives real insight into what was going on in Germany.

It was not until after his death that my grandmother received her son's remains thanks to the generosity of Dictator Francisco Franco. I was born in 1940 years later I only new my grandmother ., no the other uncles...wars are very bad in many ways , particularly when families have members fighting in opposite sides.

Technically..at around 5:38..”Germany was forced to surrender” ..an armistice is NOT a surrender..rather a cessation of hostilities or peace where both sides agree to stop fighting. To treat someone or nation that has,by reconciliation, laid down it’s arms in mutual agreement as a subjugated defeated foe, is to lay the foundation for inevitable trouble and rebellion in the future.

I believe Hess knew war with the West, or a two-front war, was not going to end well for Germany. He was at least sensible that way.

My grandfather was one of the prison guards in Spandau Prison, rotating between Allied and Soviet soldiers to look after Nazi prisoners; was one of the personal guards for Rudolf Hess. He watched his sleep, shave, shit and eat throughout the day as part of his assignment to him. He rarely interacted with him, instead he only asked for requests and was an easy prisoner to watch that took to solitary confinement really well. However, he would be allowed time in the yard or garden where there was a couple of trees for prisoners to roam around for outside breaks. Hess would climb one of those trees and spend his time reading poetry whilst sitting in it. My grandfather always said, "He was an unremarkable man, who just read poetry in the trees

Your statement of "an unremarkable man" reminds me of Hannah Arendt's book about Adolf Eichmann ( a colleague of Rudolf Hess ) the Banality of Evil ( a Holocaust survivor, a brilliant woman who wrote several other great books ). The unassuming appearance, ie, the incognito of evil. This brilliant documentary has taught me that Hitler's men may have had intellection but none of it was common sense. I quote, George Orwell, "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them."

He's is a complicated man, and so is his degree of guilt, as well as his treatment by the allies towards the end of his life. Yes, he had an active hand in the atrocities of the early Nazi regime, but was absent during the bulk of it's crimes against humanity. His seriously diminished mental health, should have been taken into consideration in potentially considering early release based on compassionate humanitarian early release during his final latter years of life. Perhaps confinement to a mental hospital might have been deemed more appropriate than keeping him locked up to rot away in a cell. I think the allies could have handled the treatment he was subjected to in the final years of life, with a more mature consideration.
