Rudolf Hess : the Fuhrer's discipline di Peter Padfield

The flight of Rudolf Hess, the deputy leader of the Nazi Party, to Scotland in May 1941 remains one the great unresolved mysteries of the Second World War. Did he come on Hitler's commission or, as he always maintained, without his Fiihrer's knowledge? Was the man who parachuted out of the Messerschmitt Bf 11O really Hess or a double? What was his purpose, why was he later incarcerated for !ife in Berlin's Spandau prison, and was he, as his son W R Hess alleged, finally murdercd to preYent him revealing some explosive secret?… (altro)
