Rudolf Hess – Abgeordneter der NSDAP, der 1941 alleine nach Schottland flog mit der erklärten Absicht, Frieden zwischen Deutschland und Großbritannien auszuhandeln.
Sofort verhaftet und bis zu den Nürnberger Prozessen inhaftiert – Speer erhielt die härteste und längste Haftstrafe und übertraf damit Baldur von Schirach und Albert Speer (beide viel größere Kriegsakteure, beide erhielten 20 Jahre Haft).
Wiederholte Versuche, Hess freizulassen oder seine Strafe umzuwandeln, wurden vehement zurückgewiesen und er soll sich 1987 im Alter von 93 Jahren erhängt haben.
Warum?
(Ich persönlich glaube, dass Hitler den Flug genehmigte und Hess mit einer Art Friedensabkommen betraute.
Ein Friedensabkommen, das angesichts der warmherzigen Haltung Hitlers gegenüber den Briten möglicherweise so günstige Konditionen vorsah, dass die britische Kriegsmaschinerie untergraben worden wäre und die Menschen sich geweigert hätten, einen Krieg aufzunehmen, obwohl der Frieden nur eine Unterschrift entfernt war.

Fuck Nazis
Interesting. Must have broken his loyalty and got punished
Hess very likely took it upon himself to try and broker a peace deal. Largely due to his obsession with the occult. (He was pretty strange and „out there“) I don’t think we will truly ever know for sure if Hitler knew about the mission or not. I believe someone knows for sure but it will likely never be revealed to the public. The fact that he was Deputy fuhrer of the Reich is the reason he could not ever be freed. He just posed to much of a risk to let go. Personally, I don’t believe he committed suicide. The killing of Hess put a lot of things „to rest“ once and for all.
Edit: So why kill him at 93? Because if he would have „committed suicide“ at a young age people would have always believed that he didn’t actually kill himself. At age 93 it’s still iffy to people but to a lesser extent. They basically kept him alive long enough to be able to kill him without many questions. More Plausible deniability. Also, I believe they chose suicide specifically instead of letting him die in his sleep. This is because generally suicide is seen as the „cowards way out“. It was all about not creating the man a maryter to the cause of nazism. (Suicide was in direct contrast to nazi beliefs. They were supposed to fight until the bitter end)
You randomly start talking about someone called Speer in your second paragraph with no introduction
He probably did Nazi that coming
[Harmonic Convergence – Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_Convergence) Maybe he did it.
does anyone remember the old unsolved mysteries episode on him?
>I personally believe Hitler sanctioned the flight , entrusting Hess’ with some sort of peace deal.
It’s certainly possible. Maybe hindsight is 20/20, but you’d have to think someone in Germany had to have thought „You know, maybe we shouldn’t fight both the British and the Soviets simultaneously.“ Perhaps Hitler himself had that thought.
The thing is, the Nazis were truly at war with the British the moment Chamberlain lost all political credibility and the policy of appeasement failed. By the time the Nazis were fighting the British over London in 1940-41, the Luftwafffe was being beaten by the RAF, so the Nazis likely would’ve had to have make concessions they may not have wanted to make to bring an end to the fighting.
Also, if you’re the British, what do you really gain from an end to hostilities? Do you want the Nazis to potentially regroup and attack again later?
My guess is, Hess likely saw the writing on the wall and took it upon himself to try and negotiate peace without thinking about Germany’s own Allies. After all, Itally were fighting the British in North Africa.
Middle picture not the same eyebrows.
Why what? Why did he kill himself? Why was his sentence not commuted? Why did he fly to Scotland? What are you even asking?
He killed himself with an electric cord and his sentence was never commuted mainly from pressure from the soviets.
He flew to Scotland to try to meet the Duke of Hamilton and wanted to be brought to the King George to basically split up Europe between England and Germany. Hess had already been on the outs with Hitler and feared a war on 2 fronts that he didn’t believe in. Hitler absolutely didn’t approve of his whack job attempt at a peace deal.
In summary he was a fucking nut job who even partially feigned amnesia during his time at Nuremberg according to Nuremberg psychiatrist Doug Kelley.
Wasn’t he legit a warlock?
I heard he came to scotland to literally mage duel Alistair Crowley.
At least that’s the most fun version to believe.
Spandau Ballet is the term referring to the guards in the Spandau prison Hess was in (he was the only prisoner in the prison) , they rotated every few months from different countries in order for him to never build a relationship with any guards.
The gist I got was that he was Hitler’s very close personal aide before Boerman took over. He helped draft plans for literally everything that came out of Hitler’s mouth. And he got a hard sentence because they could.
Hess was murdered. I actually heard the details on this from one of his ‚caretakers‘ in the final days of his life
Because the destruction of the Anglo-Saxon people was the sole motive of these conflicts by those who once crawled out defeated from the Caucus mountains. We had two World Wars forced upon us to destroy ourselves in order to make our conquering manageable. We are conquered by these forces now.
It was a systematic destruction of the most incredible people on earth. It allowed ‚them‘ to steamroll the pinnacle of society into dust.
Two world wars aimed at destroying one perfect form of culture:
It worked (from the Atlantic to the Danube).
We almost rid ourselves of the neanderthals some 40,000 years ago… (we drove them so eastward as to think them extinct).
Then they came back – and they were pissed.
Everything we deal with today is *2-4% neanderthal admixture* being controlled by media and society operated by those with *+4% neanderthal admixture* . Take over. Test. Respond.
