Rudolf Hess

Rudolf Hess (b 1894) was a powerful political ally of Adolf Hitler and held the rank of Deputy Fuhrer of the Greater German Reich. In 1941, he was involved in a curious incident when he piloted a Luftwaffe aircraft to Scotland, landed there, and asked to meet with the Duke of Hamilton for reasons no one ever learned. It was suggested at the time that he wished to open peace negotiations with the Duke, but if he did he did so without Hitler's consent.

Hess was arrested and held prisoner in Britain for the duration of World War II. In 1945 he was extradited to Germany, where he would have neem tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the Allied Forces in the Palace of Justice had the Werewolves not destroyed that building.
