Very interesting article about the British trying to get Rudolph Hess released from Spandau Prison after the war. I had the pleasure to speak with an Army veteran who was an M.P who guarded the last remaining prisoner Rudolf Hess at Spandau Prison. He stated Hess was in very good health before his death. Hess intimidated most guards and was a very scary individual. He spoke at least 5 languages.

The question is, if Hess – or the prisoner going under the name of Hess – had been released sooner, where would he have ended up? In the loving care of a British facility? And how long before he succumbed to “natural death” due to “old age” ?
“Humanitarian reasons”? Not bl**dy likely! 🙂
