Rudolf Hess, British Royals + An Unsolved Nazi Mystery | Ep.65 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
1Description
Why did Adolf Hitler's deputy and trusted confidante fly alone to an isolated
corner of Scotland at the height of World War Two?
Was it the act of a madman? Was it to conclude a secretly negotiated
peace deal with some of the most senior members of the British
aristocracy and - potentially - the royal family itself? Was
it to help senior conservatives launch a coup against Churchill? Or
was it all the result of a clever British intelligence plot?
Whatever the true reason, Rudolf Hess himself never got to speak it
since for the rest of his life he was kept well away from journalists and writers.
John Harris has spent decades investigating the affair. Here he joins Andrew and Phil to
discuss his latest discoveries and insights.
