The Hess Enigma: What Really Happened To Hitler's Deputy? | Secrets Of The Third Reich | Timeline
On the 17th of August, 1987, Hitler's former deputy Rudolf Hess commits suicide in prison, marking the end of a life of mystery and intrigue. We investigate some of the riddles still surrounding Hess. What motivated him to single-handedly fly to Scotland? Did he want to make peace with the UK? And Hess's last mystery: did he really kill himself, or was he murdered?

Dig deep enough into _Rudolf Hess_ and you come across a story that _Heinrich Himmler_ learned of the plan and substituted a look-alike imposter. To support this theory, it was pointed out that after the war Hess did not recognize close family members including his wife and niece. And he was unable to answer basic, commonly known facts from his youth and early years in the party. Hess was to meet the the Duke who was to introduce the imposter to _Edward VIII: Britain's Traitor King_ with promises of a return to the throne. And this theory claims Hess was killed by British Intelligence.

I was the American Prison Guard commander in August 1987. I remember that day clearly. The call from my Tower guard, my haste to the scene where I found Hess on the floor in the small outdoor room. I took his pulse, there was none. The American prison guard had gone to get his personal PA and I had called for my medic and the British doctor on call. They all worked to revive him. There were no strange men as his PA asserts. The building was in the open and no one could get to it without my guard or the prison warden seeing them. I watched the medical personnel perform CPR and administer some other treatments to no avail as he was rush to the British hospital. No mystery just an old man deciding it was time to go. End of story.

I agree. He was still alive on arrival at the British Military Hospital (BMH) Berlin and taken directly to Intensive Care. All efforts to revive him, without success. The British, American and Soviet ambassadors were called and confirmed his identity (after a bit of kerfuffle regarding his upper set of false teeth which had been misplaced) and that was it. An elderly man died.

After college in 1982 I worked with a former guard who shared he guarded Hess and was not allowed to speak to him. Hess would motion with two fingers on his lips as a sign he need a cigarette. Outside of giving him a cigarette, he just walked the yard by himself, separated from ever communicating with anyone. Sad way to live out the rest of your days...
He Got Epsteined
To say that there was no reason to believe Hess would attempt suicide is misleading. I guarded him in the early 1970’s and we were warned to notify our immediate officers if he went into the garden shed because he was suicidal. And the shed itself looked nothing like your illustration and was not located at that spot although the one I remember could have been replaced at a later date

My father spoke fluent German, and in 1965 was part of the British guard detachment at Spandau Prison. He recounted conversations with Albert Speer, who impressed him with his intellect and grasp of world affairs. Von Schirach rarely made himself as available, and Hess was unreachable. His activities including constant flushing of his toilet (which had to be logged by the Guard Commander); childish games of 'Look what I've found!' (nothing) during his walks in the garden - basically anything which would inconvenience his captors.

Because his captors didn’t want his story to get out and sway people with his story about his peace attempts being rejected in England in the early days of the war.

I used to live a mile away from where Hess parachuted to in Scotland, on 10 May 1941. He landed at Floors Farm, Eaglesham, and was taken to Giffnock Police Station. Its still in use as a police station today. In 1993, a monument was erected on the spot where he landed, but protests followed, and it was taken down. There are photos of it online. Also, if you search ''protests about hess monument herald'' it should take you to a 1993 article in the Herald newspaper.

I believe whatever happened to Hess while he was in the UK, the British government and secret service wanted it kept secret. In a book I read about him, his family hired an expert pathologist who found that Hess had a fractured hyoid bone (a small c-shaped bone in the neck). A fractured hyoid bone is a classic sign of strangulation. Apparently he was not faking mental illness and genuinely did suffer from what we would now call schizophrenia. He was the last prisoner to be kept in the Tower of London.
At the end of the documentary they said that the Soviets would not release him due to secrets he might have to share with the world. But then all of the sudden, after so many years in captivity, he decides to "hang himself" while the Soviets are in charge of his care.. after his being incarcerated for over 50 years. Without one single attempt at suicide the entire time. This is not conspiracy. This is truth...

He knew of many co-operations and peace conversations between the UK and the Germans.
Ironically, his trip to Scotland may very well have saved his life. If he had stayed in Germany throughout the war, he very well could have ended up like either the führer himself, Himmler, Goering, or Eichmann.
31:53 No one was more surprised when Hess dropped out of the sky in his parachute than a group of Scottish guard-cows, but they quickly recovered their wits and took him into cud-stody.
Speer in his book, Spandauer Tagebuch, his prison diary, saw and talked to Hess every day for 20 years when they were outside in the prison yard exercising and working. Speer never implies that he had doubts that the man was not Hess.
Well done !! It is the most complete explanation I have seen/heard!!

I think not , after using Chamberlain to enable the war, the elite maneuvered Churchill into power as a result of the backlash against the government over the Norway campaign RUN BY CHURCHILL, Churchill then being made Prime Minister as a result, this ensured there would be NO CHANCE of rapprochement no matter how advantageous the terms. All British policy is in hindsight TOTALLY to the advantage of the Soviet Union in every way. Why this is so is speculation, but dont forget THE GROUP/ Milners Kindergarten seemed to be involved with setting up the Soviet Union at the British End as were the U.S Wall St end, U.S support and building of the Soviet Union from nineteen seventeen right through the cold war is well documented, the British involvement far less so as it appears to run counter to British Government policy of the day, which was changed from supporting the White Army, to withdrawing that support at the demand of Wall St bankers. However it should surprise no one if the British end of the group used their U.S branch to put the pressure on to hide their own policys considering British government policy was the reverse of theirs,.

Dunkirk itself was a peace offer from the Germans. The Germans could have easily slaughtered the British on the beach had the order been given. Don’t believe the mainstream recount of the event. The proof is that the panzer division’s were ordered to stand down, when they could have easily and quite literally, steamrolled the troops on the beach. The air attack was an attempt to stop the evacuation for bargaining purposes, not to kill the bargaining chips.
Hamilton's son would need to explain why a busy Group Captain at the height of a world war would drop everything to visit an unknown prisoner giving a false name and claiming to be a friend of his. It's also naive to pretend that Hamilton would not have been able to recognise Hess from photographs.

@@hyennussquatch4597 It would make more sense if he'd committed suicide as soon as he was arrested, or as soon as he was sent to prison... with all that prison time ahead of him. But to do it in '87 with so much prison time behind him... he'd be used to 'doing time'. Suicide seems an unlikely move... unless something very specific happened that prompted him to do it which the video doesn't mention... or unless he was 'suicided'.

@@hyennussquatch4597 Well... it's possible I suppose. He may just have been bored to death... literally! (Hess, I mean, not your grand-uncle... Though that too is a possibility.) I still find it rather odd, though, especially with no mention of a suicide note. But maybe he had no-one to say 'goodbye' to. I still think it's weird... and perhaps even a tad sad. After all, the mission which put him in prison was an attempt to end the war. I suppose we'll never know if that was a good or a bad idea but, if he'd succeeded, the world would certainly be different from what it is now.

@@hyennussquatch4597 PS: Btw, it wasn't a 'claim' I was making... it was really just a statement of the feeling I have of the 'oddness' of the facts, which I still find odd... even though Hess was 93 when he died. I also think your grand-uncle's suicide is equally odd (though I'm not suggesting disbelief here!) simply because at that age, why bother with suicide...? It's not like you'd have very long to wait for a natural death. If it were the result of chronic pain, perhaps that would make it a little less odd... or perhaps it could have resulted from a desire for control over the event.
Hess did not take much part in the war and yet he got a life sentence...why? Treaties are meant to be broken...to this day. So do not give your hopes up when hope is needed

Remarkably fit for his age? He was only 9 years older than I am, yet I can run 5 miles in 57 minutes and in a good light can read a newspaper without glasses, though it strains my eyes so I usually wear them for reading. My running time will no doubt deteriorate in 9 years, and also my eyesight, but it should still be much better than Hess's when I'm 93, so I dont see anything remarkable about his health and fitness.The desperation of the Brits to keep him captive indefinitely is anomalous. Is it a coincidence that he knew some very embarrassing secrets about the British aristocracy?The furtiveness and secrecy surrounding his death to this day are highly suspicious. Home Secretary Dr Owen asked to see his file in the 90s, but was refused.

@Simon McCreath A bit sharper than you, I think. You are the sort of wokist who is easily taken in by goverment lies and deceit. I am not. For example, ypu couldn't explain why the government is desperate to hide details of Hess's imprisonment and death, or why Ukraine isn't a democracy, or why Putin s invasion wasn't unprovoked. I analyse what the government tells us and often find they are telling us lies.

Churchill was under the influence of the Focus Group. Robert Waley Cohen(Royal Dutch Shell) was chairman. Winston Churchill almost had to sell his stately home Chartwell in 1937 but he was bailed out with £30,000 by South African gold mining magnate Henry Straikosch. In 1929 Churchill was also bailed out by Bernard Baruch. Winston had a lifestyle that was very expensive in the 1930's.

I think this doco underestimates the number of people in Britain who considered exploring the idea of a peace/ceasefire with Germany after the dramatically quick fall of France and prior to the German invasion of the USSR. That was the greatness of Churchill, to remove this element within the British war effort.

49:30 "Ignorant of the terror he once represented?" Here the narrator expresses his own ignorance of the extreme right. Why would you gratuitously issue that statement? To that specific, ever present and growing, "small minority" - antisemitism and antiliberal terror IS the point. Why they don't want freedom and would choose to be led by a dictator is the question of the early 21st century. I think one answer is that they do not know how to function independently of others and feel secure within a group. But instead of joining some kind civic or spiritual group, they require harshness in their lives - both giving of it and receiving of it. Of course, it also gives one a false sense of power over something - anything.

Prince George, Duke of Kent, KG, KT, GCMG, GCVO (George Edward Alexander Edmund; 20 December 1902 - 25 August 1942) was a member of the British royal family, the fourth son of King George V and Queen Mary. He was the younger brother of Edward VIII and George VI. He was killed in a military air-crash on 25 August 1942. CONTINUED AT LINK: The Dunbeath air crash involved the loss of a Mark 3 Short S.25 Sunderland that crashed in the Scottish Highlands on a headland known as Eagle's Rock (Creag na h-Iolaire) near Dunbeath, Caithness, on 25 August 1942. The crash killed 14 of 15 passengers and crew, including Prince George, Duke of Kent, who was on duty as an Air Commodore in the Royal Air Force on a mission to Reykjavik. . Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince have written about the crash in their book Double Standards, which however has been criticised for its "implausible inaccuracy". They alleged that Kent had a briefcase full of 100-krona notes, worthless in Iceland, handcuffed to his wrist, leading to speculation the flight was a military mission to Sweden, the only place where krona notes were of value.One RAF crew member survived the crash: Flight Sergeant Andrew Jack, the Sunderland's rear gunner. Flight Sergeant Jack's niece has claimed that Jack told his brother that the Duke had been at the controls of the plane; that Jack had dragged him from the pilot's seat after the crash; and that there was an additional person on board the plane whose identity has never been revealed. It is alleged the plane was carrying Rudolf Hess. He was being taken to Sweden to make peace between Germany and Britain allowing the German's to fight on one front. www.conspiracy-cafe.com/apps/videos/videos/show/19086521-fbi-files-on-axel-wenner-gren
