The Hess Trip

Telegraph: Reports on new evidence that the arrival of Rudolf Hess in the UK during World War Two was with the approval of Hitler. As the article notes the new information was given by an Aide to Rudolf Hess, he was a prisoner of Soviet Russia, thus the story with its impression of double dealing by the West would go down well with Stalin. As historians have noted Hitler stated that Hess must have gone mad to carry out such a trip, thus it can be argued this new evidence is somewhat suspect given the source and the destination of the information.
