The curious tale of Rudolf Hess

Hitler’s Rudolf Hess Mystery Finally Solved in 2025 And It Isn't Good


A 93-year-old man. Found dead in a garden shed. An electrical cord wrapped around his neck. Case closed, right? Except the man was Rudolf Hess. Hitler's deputy. The second most powerful Nazi in the world. And for 46 years, he had been the most guarded prisoner on earth. Not because of what he had done. But because of what he knew.

What Happened to Rudolf Hess's Plane?

The strange story of Rudolf Hess arriving in Scotland in 1941 remains unresolved even today. But what happened to his plane and the Luftwaffe uniform and flight suit that he was wearing when he was captured? The plane still (partially) exists and his uniform is missing, stolen shortly before his death at the age of 93 in Spandau Prison, Berlin.
