May 11th 1941 - Berchtesgaden. The day after Rudolf Hess took off
from Augsburg and hadn’t yet returned or sent any signal, Adolf
Hitler had to say something to justify Hess’ so far unexplained
disappearance. Not least for the benefit of the German nation and
his then trading ally, Soviet Russia. Consequently he authorised a
statement saying that Hess was suffering from a mental derangement
and had succeeded in obtaining an aeroplane against the strict
orders of the Fuehrer. Of course, nothing could be further from the
truth, but an explanation had at least been proffered before
British propaganda commenced. The unlikely explanation has however
proven durable, some still believing it to be true 80 years later.
In this, their eighth book on the affair, Harris and Wilbourn
demonstrate that far from being a random act, the flight had been
meticulously planned, using state of the art German radio
technology. Using contemporary equipment, maps and charts they
demonstrate the true nature and character of the flight and explain
what went wrong, leading to the sensational and very public arrival
of Rudolf Hess in Scotland at 23.09hrs on May 10th 1941.
