Synopsis
When Rudolf Hess flew from Germany to Scotland in 1941, he was taken into custody as soon as he parachuted onto a Scottish moor. His arrival provoked widespread curiosity and speculation, which has continued to this day. Why did he fly to Scotland? Had Hitler authorized him to attempt to negotiate peace? Was British Intelligence involved? What was his state of mind at the time? This book resolves many of the riddles that still bedevil this bizarre episode of the Second World War.
