'When people told him about the concentration camps, for example, Hess was reported to have argued that if atrocities existed it must be because the Jews had hypnotised the Germans to make them behave so cruelly.'

Awfully clever of those Jews. [/s --> extreme]

If Hess were alive today, he would have his own show on MSNBC.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Wow. Sounds like Hess was Muslim.

The Daily Mail article in quoting Hess is an utterly vacuous,repulsive piece of probative garbage. As if anything he had to say on this subject would transcend in the slightest way what the Nazis had committed, claimed.

An Army shrink named 'Dr Henry DICKS'??

Having to live with a name like that, he probably needed a shrink, himself.

If it was my name, I'd have changed it to something else, at a young age...... George...Sam...Jim... Charles Dicks or something. : )

Churchill initially sent him to the Tower of London, making him the last prisoner to be held in the 900-year-old fortress.

There's a reason that paper is also called the Daily Fail.

Hess was held in the tower for 4 days in May 1941. In August 1971 German spy Josef Jakobs was executed in the tower. In 1945 William Joyce aka "Lord Haw-Haw" was imprisoned there.
In 1952 the Kray twins were held there.

The last is a bit sad really, because otherwise the last Englishman sent to the Tower would have been rather appropriately Lt Colonel Alfred Daniel Wintle (also called "Mad Jack" Wintle for some unknown reason even though his name was not Jack or John).
He went to the Tower in June 1940 charged with "conduct contrary and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline" namely stating forcefully that one Air Commodore Boyle of the RAF should be shot. Wintle successfully had that charge dismissed by offering into evidence his complete list of people who should be shot to aid the war effort. These days they'd just lock him away as a dangerous terrorist - the world's gone soft.

There are some who say that it wasn't Rudolf Hess at all that parachuted into Scotland. They say this, based upon many things, including the fact that Hess had been shot through the chest in WWI, and the prisoner had no scars there.

Thomas was a doctor who examined Hess in the mid-70's.
