- 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?

Like how this documentry completely ignores that Britain after the war declared the Hess files sealed for 75 years, than when that time was up, the files were ordered sealed for another 50 years! Why???
Yeah, they need to hide the fact that Hess plotted covid-19. He’s even still alive today and in complete control of all the lizard people.
Eugenicists in UK.
It's pretty obvious why, there's something in them so embarrassing to the authorities that no one is allowed to see them, not even Dr Owen when he was Home Secretary. I have a pretty good idea what it was. You're right, this video is a cover up.

Please enlighten us on what you think it was.
Suicide it was not!
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.
Hess did not get murdered or committ suicide
He was murdered, and you of course have to say suicide to this day dont you. Maybe you were even the assassin. The whole secret thing is just to protect the Royal Family and the myth of Churchil the good and the evil Nazis.
Things must have changed since I was on Guard Duty at Spandau allied Prison when we had Rudolf Hess, Albert Speer, Baldur Von Schrach at the time I stood guard which I did for 60 days we had nothing to do with them we only guarded to towers and front gate and 2 roving patrol at night outside the wire walking clockwise around the whole prison.

Thanks for your service. and have a good MOX NIX day.
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...
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 would have protested too. A monument to one of Hitler's top deputies? Nah, f that.

@@davidhutchinson5233 Though I'm unfamiliar with the aforementioned monument, it would seem to me that it probably _wasn't_ a monument _to Hess himself_ -- but rather, to mark to the location of an historically significant event. If that were the case, would you change your mind? (I'd certainly hope so).
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
Thanks 4 the Truth...

I came here to learn about family history. Hess is my great great uncle. My grandmothers maiden name is Hess. I’ve always been told that we were blood relatives to him but never dug any deeper. This documentary helped me understand my family history & I thank you for that.
Wow thats inasne, thank you for sharing that.
Shebby,
We are only responsible for ourselves. Bear no responsibility for our ancestors actions or inaction. Hopefully we all learn from people Ike him and not repeat his crimes and mistakes
. Storm troopers never existed its the SA meaning storm attachment. If they got that wrong who knows what else isn't historically accurate and I too m blood related to German National Socialist just no one as well known as Hess. That's awesome!
Get dna test to confirm this

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.
How long was von Schirach held in spandau?
@@mikesgoodmann9349 until September 1966
@@mikesgoodmann9349 He served his full 20 year sentence. Released on 30 September 1966.
Say what you will about how silly the man was at times but isn’t it Funny how the man who sacrificed himself to desperately try to make peace was never released form Prison? Don’t you wonder why? 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. So they kept him locked up until he was dead.
There will always be conspiracy theories around Hess. I personally prefer to stay out of the discussion, because it goes nowhere.
even margaret thatcher would not allow his papers to be released imagine what was in them
Yeah just like they won't release the investigation into JFK

who kills himself at 93? No one could interview him for his entire period in prison.
@Simon McCreath yeah sure, and historians were not prosecuted, jailed and threatened after ww2
Why did he wait until 93?
i love how the historians tell us what Hess thought. The man was perfectly able to speak for himself but oh no....... couldn't have that.
While serving in Berlin with the 6th infantry regiment,I was part of a platoon guarding the Spandau prison 1958,I can remember Hess marching around the yard below the guard towers,we were never in close contact with the prisoners,that duty was left to personnel from neutral Countries.
That must have been eerie to see that man there.

Hess was also held at Maindiff Court Hospital Abergavenny. My Grandmother was a nurse there and used to look after him. He had a free run of the area and would regularly climb the Skirrid mountain with his guards.
Didn't know that, thank you 😀
My grandad guarded him at Spandau 😄
I've been up Skirrid.
He knew of many co-operations and peace conversations between the UK and the Germans.
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.
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!!
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...
As if conspiracy wasn't truth. People have been so thoroughly mind controlled that they now even believe there are no conspiracies.
The Soviets wouldn't release him because it gave them a foothold into West Berlin in a way they wouldn't have had if he had been released. The secrets he held were secrets that the British MI6 did not want to be aired.
@NateFromNZ, 🤣😂
@NateFromNZ Coming from a guy who is likely vaxxed. Haaaaaaaahaha oh the irony.
Cloud seeding
His son A R Hess wrote two informative biographies on his father 'My father Rudolf Hess' and 'Who killed my father'. These books provide great insights and contradictions.
Wasn't his Sons name Wolf? Why the A R?
Let's not forget that when Germany attacked Poland from the East the Russians attacked Poland from the West ,there for; being in partnership with Germany in starting World War 2.
I always wondered why the allies didn't declare war on Russia for attacking Poland with Germany. I guess they knew they couldn't defeat Germany on their own. So why not let the communists do it. That way Russia could take over Eastern Europe in place of Germany.
Ahhh haaa now you realise you attacked the wrong dictator it was Stalin you needed to get rid of
Remind me to never ask you for directions...
Germany only went into Poland on Sept 1st, in order to stop the brutal killing of German minorities by press enraged mobs and Polish militia. On Sept 3rd the orgy of killing and mutilations of innocent German civilians escalated in the town of Bromberg(now Bydgoswz). 3,000 were murdered in the most cowardly and despicable manner.
But war was not declared on Russia invading Poland, remeber the Allies partnered with Bolsheviks in two wars, hmmmm.
This is one of many mysteries of ww2 , we’ll never know what happened. Crazy to believe the second in command at their peak flies to the enemy .
Since it is a matter of record that his aircraft was detected by radar coming to Scotland I've always wondered why nothing was scrambled to intercept him.
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.
The death of Rudolf Hess raises many questions, but the one that really intrigues me is: How did Rudolf Hess obtain damaging evidence against Hillary Clinton?
Very funny!
My father was a pathologist who worked with Florey and Chain in Oxford on developing the mass production of penicillin. After Hess was captured, he was brought to Oxford suffering from syphilis and my father treated Hess with penicillin injections.
Rubbish
My dad is obama
Hess wasn't captured mate he gave himself up to a local farmer if you didnt know ...the video is on here as well
Cool story
@@cumsteak that's not possible. Obama is my momma.
If he had tried just before Dunkirk he may have been able to make a deal, or at least to get a hearing. After Churchill consolidated power there was no way. Bad timing.
By the time of Dunkirk the Brits had ignored at least three peace attempts from the Germans so ............ no .
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,.
For Hess's plan to work, Churchill would have had to be removed from office, but as the war was going very badly at the time due to Winston's decisions, that was in the realm of possibility.
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.
What happened to him? He changed his name to Henry Rollins and started a band.
Yup, perfect. 😉 he could definitely play him in a movie or whatnot.
Rollins never started any band.

“Bombing makes people angry…” y’gotta love the British ability to understate the obvious with a straight face 😂
Both sides were willing to negotiate peace and arranged for Hess' mission, but when it didn't work out they declared Hess insane and sacrificed him. No way he was crazy as this documentary portrays him.
Hess was the only one who was aware of what he was up to
Not to mention everyone besides Churchill wanting peace
Yea he was nuts.
Electro-shock "therapy" back in the days when they gave the suspected insane lobotomies......in concentration camps. Hess probably knew he had syphilis and knew where he would end up if he didn't get out, and if by some chance he could end the war with Britain so Germany and her allies could attack Russia on one front; back in his hero's arms he would be.

How does Spear get 20 years and Hess gets life??
Speer displayed some regret and responsability. But he got off lightly.
@@D.Appeltofft yeah he told them what they wanted to hear.
@@D.Appeltofft Speer was a Rat.
Speer was young enough and clever enough to wriggle out of Life, but was given 20 years for his part in Slave Labor...and we forgave the Germans very quickly, to use them as a buffer from USSR
Speer's expertise was needed in the coming war against the Soviet Union. Speer doubled wartime industrial production of Germany, under the bombing. That's why the Russians were insisting that he gets the death sentence, and the Americans made sure he didn't. Same reason Doenitz was set free - America was counting on him for submarine warfare against the Russians.
He spent two days at Maryhill Barracks in Glasgow before being moved to England. My grandad was the QM there
Also in the Tower of London

"Not expected" so i wonder why the Duke of Hamilton had left the landing lights of at his privet runway on that night?
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.

Those who fought against it deserve extra credit, but yes, those who didn't once the Nazis were already in power, should not be condemned.
Agreed, I've often said that neo Nazi's are worse than Nazi's! Most German citizens had to go along just to survive! Whereas neo Nazi's totally buy into the hatred!

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.
Churchill was a political puppet of the Rhodes/Milner/Rothschild, group he referred to them as the High Cabal, it was THEY who created Churchill as a political figure, and bailed him out financially several times in order to keep him IN PLAY as a tool to implement THEIR policys when required.

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.
Id like to see his file also. Surely in the public interest.
@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.

It doesn't make sense that he would wait 'til 1987 to commit suicide...
Why?
@@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'.
@@theseustoo I understand 100% your claim. But i think he just killed himself because of old age. There are cases like that, brother of my grand-dad hang himself at 94 years of age. Of course he was not in prison. He was just tired of living.
@@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.
I'm English but I still believe that Hess did not deserve or warrant life imprisonment (if it was Hess indeed)

Why was Hess hidden, he wanted peace, but Churchill wanted the war to go ahead. WHY?
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.
You are an mistaken. Hess just wanted England to drop out of the war and give Germany free reign to do whatever they pleased to the rest of the Allies. I don't call that peace.
Because Churchill was a warmongerer
Thanks. 👍
He retired down in Argentina with the rest of the escaped Nazis.
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.

This channel is a huge let down with adverts every 90 seconds, I give up!
On any video, scroll clear till the end, let the last second or so play, then hit replay. You won't have ads after that. Its annoying but I do it on every one
Fascinating.
I spent some time Guarding Rudolf Hess, he saw me daily but only ever grunted at me. If I said guten morgen, he still grunted. I put it down to the fact that he had been locked up for far too long.
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
@Simon McCreath Because he was a chief architect of the entire Third Reich. That not serious enough a crime?
@@thomasbell7033 So was Albert Speer.
@Simon McCreath Because I choose not to acknowledge it does not mean I'm thick. It means you are not being engaged. Scurry back under the fridge, db.
He co-wrote Me*n Kam&f...was Deputy Fuhr*er, committed Crimes Against Humanity...and he was not hanged like others, his sentence was relatively mild
Thanks!
Question remais: IF hess took his own life, a HUGE error in the guarding procedure must have been taken place?
39:20 it’s insinuated that the Haushofer’s deaths were somehow due to no longer having the protection of Hess, but they committed suicide in March of 1946…?
Yes, they committed suicide to avoid the indignity and humiliation of a show trial, like what the Allies put on at Nuremberg.
Many, many former collaborators took " the easy way" out
Another example of what happens when prideful ascend on the throne.
42:42 I have scarcely seen a more haunting stare. It's like the look of a death mask.
whatever he had to say .......you can bet youre never going to hear it
What could this man know that he had to be imprisoned. For so many years. By the time when he was old that would have been so hurtful to Russia..?? May God Bless All!
You would think after the war he would be zero value
Yep! God bless
At the minimum, he knew how London and Wall Street bankers funded Hitlers rise to power. But probably he knew far more than that.
That Stalin was a German agent during the first war & was still on speaking terms with German intelligence right up to Barbarosa
@@raymondmanderville505 Is there any evidence for that theory?
Hess had a good point. Britian was a thorn in Germany's side even before the war started. They urged other country to get in on the war before it even started
Poland namely plus the British are Germanic people

Timeline is a series devoted to changing history Directed history.
Yes indeed this documentary twists history to match the deceitful official political narrative.
I'm not going to speculate, but there must have been a reason he chose the Duke of Hamilton to visit. Also I don't believe that nobody knew who he was when he was captured.
agreed
They met at the Olympic Games in Berlin. Hess believed he had a connection with the Duke, and that he could facilitate a treaty... delusional, self-aggrandizing, vile.
Hamilton was the head of an Anglo-German friendship society. Maybe the group wasn't as important as Hess imagined. On second thoughts, maybe the group WAS important and had to be played down for expediency.
Unless they went to the pictures and saw newsreels how would they know, only people in towns could go to the pics
@@seafishinggirl Newspapers have photos. My Grandad watched films in a village hall in the highlands of Scotland during the first world war, everybody knew who the Kaiser was.
my grandfather was one of hess' guards during british captivity.
great!!!!
Peace is " bizarre " ? Clearly, Churchill was a warmonger.
Hess, I dont think, he killed himself.
It’s always a pleasure to see videos like this on WWII, I feel like you could talk about this kind of stuff forever and ever.
Edit: Lmao some of you guys need to get a life.
Why would you want to keep reminding yourself of war and hardship is that what you want ?
I turn on one of these and I will sleep like a baby
@@johnsmith-mq4eq those who don't study history are bound to repeat terrible ideas
@@johnsmith-mq4eq Why do you feel the need to question me on something that is frankly none of your business?
You make it everyone's business when you put it on line otherwise why do you do it?
I for one, WANT TO SEE THE HANGINGS..
I am of the mind that these amazing documentaries that share the truth of the past, so that we recognize these traits in the leaders of our times, should be free, as truth should always be treated as freedom.
This is a good documentary. It could be a Great Documentary if there was an addendum on Why British Governments since the end of the War have put his interrogations and time in the UK under lock and key until 2048. There must be something Interesting in that batch of documents?!?! Even if it is conjecture from several historians such as the ones in this documentary, including an additional interview with Ian Kershaw.
They were all covertly moved to the United States as part of operation paper clip. My family is German and wound up in New Mexico.
Correct. But Hess wasn’t one of them.
@Zen yes, there also.
Yes, because the Germans had reverse engineering in alian technology and nuclear weapons, and jet propulsion.
As a kid in New Jersey I had two German soldiers and their families living right across the street with a house in between the two. Odd because though I am not, the town was about 90 percent Polish and good number of which spoke only Polish.
@@greggreen6532
Was it somewhere around Passaic or Wallington,by any chance?
excellent doc
Very interesting
As I listen to your video I am reminded that my father was born in London in 1914 , the ( East End )
He was drafted into the British Army and served 8 years
He used to say growing up in London , every day he would see the ( disabled veterans ) of WW1 .
Amputees / gas victims and that every time he went into a Londoners home there was a photo on the mantle draped in black of a family member who had been killed in ww1.
Mosely the political leader was quite popular in the East End , and in England as a whole .
No one my father knew was willing to go to war over Poland , and every one he knew felt the ( Churchill ) was a complete opportunist / imperialist and never had the interests of the average English man in mind .
This video is well ( propaganda )
Except Churchill wasn't the prime minister when UK declared war on Germany.
Yes : but during the ( phoney war of stand off ) and the ( Dunkirk fresco) neither ( France nor English ) public wanted war , Churchill pushed it . When Hess came to England to negotiate peace Churchill locked him away

26:51 - Me when I sit next to my crush and we make eye contact.
This is by far my favorite YT channel
Imagine looking up to a lunatic like he's a hero.
It's unfortunately common in American politics.
Indeed, but people only do so due to propaganda. It's the only explanation why people actually think Churchill is a hero lol
If he was murdered, what would be the reason?
If he was released he could tell of one English DUKE (not Hamilton) and more influential British people eager to broker a deal with Germany behind Churchill's back.
Halifax was seeking peace with Germany as late as 1942
