Talking to Rudolf Hess by Desmond Zwar Pdf

Rudolf Hess was Adolf Hitler's Deputy Führer until, in 1941, he flew to Scotland, ostensibly to negotiate peace between Germany and Britain. Captured by the British, he was held for the rest of the War, before being convicted of war crimes at the Nuremberg Trials in 1946. Desmond Zwar collaborated with Col. Burton C. Andrus, who was Commandant of Nuremberg Prison during the Trials, on his book The Infamous of Nuremberg, and with Col. Eugene K. Bird, US Governor of Spandau Prison (where Hess was held for over forty years), on The Loneliest Man in the World. For reasons of practicality, neither of these books told the full story, which is now revealed for the first time in Talking to Rudolf Hess. As well as his interviews with Hess and others, Zwar tells the story of how this book came to be written, including how Hess hid proofs in his underpants, how Bird was sacked by the US Army and how the CIA tried to recover the transcripts.

Rudolf Hess Speaks by Rudolf Hess Pdf

Rudolf Hess Speaks consists of translations of several of his speeches between 1933 and 1937. It is divided into six chapters. Rudolf Hess Speaks for Peace is translated from four speeches by Rudolf Hess about peace and international understanding between 1934 and 1937. The first speech was directed at the front-fighters of all nations. The second, delivered to an elite audience in Stockholm, promoted under-standing for the young National Socialist state. The third speech was directed at American women and the fourth to youth from around the world. Rudolf Hess Speaks of the Party is translated from three speeches by Rudolf Hess between 1934 and 1936 about the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The first speech describes the very early days of the back then tiny and apparently insignificant NSDAP. The second speech explains why Adolf Hitler, already Reich Chancellor, also becomes Reich President after Hindenburg's death. The third speech, delivered only five days before the purge of Ernst Rohm, deals with the trans-formation of the NSDAP from opposition party to ruling party and also denounces the "second revolution." Rudolf Hess Speaks to the Folk is translated from three speeches by Rudolf Hess between 1935 and 1936. The first speech was directed at the German workers shortly after the proclamation of the re-introduction of compulsory military service. The second speech was delivered at the Reich Peasant Day in 1935. The third speech "to bread-winners and consumers" covers, among other issues, the problem of shortages. Rudolf Hess Speaks of Liberation and Defense is translated from seven speeches, delivered between 1934 and 1937, about the liberation from the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles and German defense. The first speech is about the Saarland's return to the German Reich. The second speech deals with the Wehrmacht's re-occupation of the previously "de-militarized" Rhineland. The third and fourth speeches are directed at the ethnic Germans outside Germany. The fifth speech was directed at officers of the National Political Course of the armed forces. The sixth speech was delivered on the occasion of the launching of the training ship "Horst Wessel." The seventh speech deals with the German-Japanese Anti-Comintern Treaty. Rudolf Hess Speaks to Soldiers is translated from three speeches by Rudolf Hess between 1936 and 1937. The first speech was directed at officers of the National Political Course of the armed forces. The second speech was delivered on the occasion of the launching of the training ship "Horst Wessel." The third speech deals with the German-Japanese Anti-Comintern Treaty. Rudolf Hess Speaks to Leaders is translated from eight speeches by Rudolf Hess between 1933 and 1936. These leaders include political leaders of the NSDAP and its auxiliaries - S.A., S.S., National Socialist Motor Corps, National Socialist Students' Organization, Hitler Youth, German Young Folk, Federation of German Girls, National Socialist Women's Organization - as well as government officials, representatives of the armed forces and the Work Service."

Rudolf Hess, the Deputy by Wulf Schwarzwäller Pdf

The first biography of Rudolf Hess since his death in August 1987. Traces Hess's political evolution towards Nazism. He was in Munich in 1919 and joined the anti-Marxist anti-democratic, and antisemitic Thule Gesellschaft. Hess became a disciple of Karl Haushofer and a friend of Dietrich Eckart, editor of the antisemitic newspaper "Auf Gut Deutsch" and later of the "Völkischer Beobachter". He was attracted to Hitler in 1919, becoming an intimate follower and a fervent promoter of Hitler's personality cult. Hess endorsed Nazi racial doctrine and antisemitic propaganda and signed, as Hitler's deputy, anti-Jewish decrees from 1933 to 1938 (although he reportedly protested against the "Kristallnacht" pogrom). Pp. 165ff. deal with his flight to Scotland in May 1941 and its repercussions.

The Mission by Jerome Tuccille,Philip Sayetta Jacobs Pdf

Nearly fifty years after he parachuted to safety in Scotland, the 1941 flight of Rudolf Hess is still shrouded in mystery. This spirited novel of espionage poses the question: What if Rudolf Hess was on a very specific mission, set up by Hitler to negotiate secretly with the British government? And what if the man imprisoned for so many years was not Rudolf Hess?

The Loneliest Man in the World by Eugene K. Bird Pdf

Without doubt, the most bizarre and controversial event in the History of World War II was the parachute jump by Deputy Fhrer Rudolf Hess into Scotland on May 10, 1941. Hess was supposedly on a peace mission to negotiate a peace between England and Germany. Hess was on his way to see the Duke of Hamilton in Scotland, with whom he believed he could negotiate a peace. Instead, Hess was put in jail, where he stayed for 46 years until he died in 1987. For 46 years he served a life sentence in West Berlin's Spandau prison. For the last 17 years he was the only inmate in a fortress built to hold 600. Long ago he was the second most powerful man in Germany, Deputy Fuhrer to Adolf Hitler. His name is Rudolf Hess. Now the almost incredible story of the Loneliest Man in the World is told by a man who, as part of the American garrison at Spandau, and later as Commandant, watched over Hess's every move and action, won his confidence, talked daily with him, and kept a day-to-day record. Was Hess mad? Colonel Bird's answer is an emphatic no. Is he the totally evil man that many think. Again, the author demurs. Above all, was he, when he flew to Scotland in the Spring of 1941, trying to make peace with Britain, and did Hitler know what Hess was doing. Readers will find the answers to this and many other crucial questions about the most enigmatic leader of the Third Reich in the pages of this book.

Camp Z by Stephen Mcginty Pdf

On May 10, 1941, Rudolf Hess, then the deputy führer, parachuted over Renfrewshire in Scotland on a mission to meet with the Duke of Hamilton, ostensibly to broker a peace deal with the British government. After being held in the Tower of London, he was transferred to Mytchett Place near Aldershot. The house was fitted with microphones and sound recording equipment, guarded by a battalion of soldiers and code-named Camp Z. Churchill’s instructions were that Hess should be strictly isolated, and that every effort should be taken to get information out of him. During the ensuing thirteen months, a psychological battle was waged between intelligence officers using the new Freudian techniques of “dynamic psychologies” and the man who had been a heartbeat away from Hitler. Stephen McGinty uses new documentation and contemporaneous reports, diaries, letters and memos to piece together a riveting account of the claustrophobia, paranoia and highstakes gamesmanship being played out in an English country house. Camp Z is a locked-room mystery in which the locked room is a man’s head, and no one is certain whether the mind within it, which holds information that could help change the course of the Second World War, is sane or insane.

Nazi Wives by James Wyllie Pdf

Nazi Wives is a fascinating look at the personal lives, psychological profiles, and marriages of the wives of officers in Hitler's inner circle. Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, Heydrich, Hess, Bormann—names synonymous with power and influence in the Third Reich. Perhaps less familiar are Carin, Emmy, Magda, Margaret, Lina, Ilse and Gerda... These are the women behind the infamous men—complex individuals with distinctive personalities who were captivated by Hitler and whose everyday lives were governed by Nazi ideology. Throughout the rise and fall of Nazism these women loved and lost, raised families and quarreled with their husbands and each other, all the while jostling for position with the Fuhrer himself. Until now, they have been treated as minor characters, their significance ignored, as if they were unaware of their husbands' murderous acts, despite the evidence that was all around them: the stolen art on their walls, the slave labor in their homes, and the produce grown in concentration camps on their tables. James Wyllie's Nazi Wives explores these women in detail for the first time, skillfully interweaving their stories through years of struggle, power, decline and destruction into the post-war twilight of denial and delusion.

Talking Back against the Nazi Scheme to Kill the Handicapped Citizens of Germany 1933-1945 by Alan R. Rushton Pdf

When Hitler came to power in 1933, he labeled physically and mentally handicapped citizens as dangerous to the genetic health of the German people. He initiated a compulsory sterilization program that eventually blocked 400,000 citizens from enjoying any normal family life. With the onset of war in 1939, he decided that resources should be reserved for healthy, worthwhile citizens who could work for victory. He then ordered a secret program to kill the handicapped. Approximately 250,000 citizens had died when the war finally ended. Readers in medicine, law, sociology and history will be intrigued by this compelling story of the brave citizens who spoke out against the immoral killing of the disabled. Many were arrested and imprisoned; some were executed. All the protesters claimed that the disabled were not “ballast people.” They were people who deserved opportunities to contribute what they could for the good of the community.
