It's an intriguing idea. It's fictionalized in detail in the Illes novel I mentioned. In the novel, a double was used from the start by Hitler to attempt peace with England. When things went awry, Hitler proclaimed that Hess was insane. It was the double, then, who spent 4 years as a POW, and then another 40 incarcerated at Spandau. He was then killed in 1987 to keep him from telling the truth of the conspiracy upon his impending pardon. It's a great novel. <BR/><BR/>And yes, the picture of the Nazi leaders on trial is disconcerting. Goring, in particular, looks like he's sitting at the park admiring flowers.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535260741343975445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29179803.post-53945470974806197572007-05-11T12:40:00.000-04:002007-05-11T12:40:00.000-04:00Very, very interesting stuff. And why would a guy...Very, very interesting stuff. And why would a guy wait all those years, until he was so old he was bound to go soon, and THEN decide to off himself??? I have heard the conspiracy theories about it not really being him. People say he didn't have the correct scars and such....that he really was one of those living it up in South America.<BR/><BR/>I also find it ironic how nonchalant most of those monsters look sitting in the box in that picture of the trial. Like it's all no big deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
