Irving actually read out what Hitler had promised for a peace deal with the British, which was giving back western europe mainly and promising to offer assistance to the British empire if anybody would attack it, but when you read about Roosevelt and his financial henchmen going around Britain trying to steal all the money away and eat and personally saying they wanted the British Empire to collapse who was really our ally ? Britain went on the decline the peace deal for siding with the people which personally spoke within their meeting of destroying them (Americans) at the cost of millions of more europeans and the Empire which had kept innovation globalised. Oh and Hess was Jewish btw.
@@randomanimations1621 he is older so its the other way around. jim carrey would look like him if he had a mustache and acted like a brit yes he would.
He more wanted to talk the UK into joining their side than he wanted peace. He thought he had a good chance since the royal family is more German than anything else and even changed their original German last name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the current one of Windsor because of anti German sentiments in the UK.
I wish much of these secrets were just released... but who knows, one was that it would upset Soviet Russia on his release. Then again, from his family to others bits of information, he would not bend the knee so to say... and could have been a threat, if what he knew, ever came to light to contradict current understanding (whether true or not) it was right upto the end which says a lot.
This is one of my favorite stories out of world war II... Hess had never parachuted in his whole life and outfitting that plane the way he did was crazy no doubt but genius at the same time there's always that fine line 😂
@blahblahblah blah I saw him in the summer of '83. He was walking with a cane, with a hunched back. I saw him twice while on guard duty. One time it was raining and he was wearing a purple poncho with a matching umbrella. He walked to the edge of a wall, looked at me in the guard tower and turned around. The second time he waked directly beneath me in the guard tower and he was cursing or mumbling something unpleasant as he walked by. I don't know what he said, but he had an attitude that day. He looked like he was duck walking like a good Nazi, but it could have been his bad posture from old age. I am not aware of his son taking care of him, Guests were not allowed in the courtyard, although his wife visited him once a month. The main caretaker was a British man. They had a place in the courtyard that they would sit. It was a large stainless steel garden shed with a sliding glass door and 1,2 windows. I peeked inside and there was a table, couch, and chair with either a newspaper or a magazine on the top. I also recall a freestanding coat rack. Hess lived in a room, inside another bldg within the prison that was off limits to us. It would not have been tough to gain entry to the prison, the exterior walls were only 10-12 feet high. Although, we had M16's with 5 rounds in each guard tower, so it would have been bad news if someone tried. The courtyard was not well kept. It had grass and a lot of weeds. And a well worn path that was tread by Hess Hess ate rather well. There were 2 German women that cooked his meals as well as our own. the women told us that we ate the same food that he was served. It was pretty good, better than the chow hall. I was happy with it. My friend took pics of him. We were not suppose to do that so I decided to let him take the risk. He made the mistake of getting them developed at the Army Exchange and the pics he took there came back blank. I guess they were well aware of the scene and were told to delete them. It's a shame they were not mailed to the states for developing, no one would have recognized the scene or Rudy. Yes, he was the only prisoner. It was an interesting experience. We were there for one week and we swapped off with another group of soldiers to guard him for a week. We guarded him for a month and we did a ceremony to pass off to the French.....I believe. We took over from the Russians.
Same. I live in Scotland and can guarantee that the closer you get to Glasgow, the less able everyone (including many Scots) are at understanding the local dialect!
When I was 18, I took a trip to England and Scotland. My friend and I ended up in a pub in Edinburgh and as the night progressed and the people we met got drunker, our understanding of them got less and less. The Scottish accent got stronger and just smiled and nodded. Had a great time though.
@Righteous Agitator Actually know what, I'm not just gonna be sarcastic about it, let's actually break this down. Concepts are never inherently evil, it's how they're twisted to become something else by the works of terrible people and tainted by popularist perception and knee jerk reactionaries that they remain branded as such. I'm not defending the nazi regime- most people can agree they were horrid monsters that did terrible things. But to dismiss the entire concept of dark uniforms because "Oh these guys that did bad things wore them" is asinine behaviour of the highest degree. There are bastards in every facet of the world, using whatever face and name suits them the best to feed their narcissism- to simply blanket label things as inherently bad due to individuals in history within the groups is fucking stupid. I'm a black man. I'm a large black man. Large black men have committed crimes. Does this inherently make me a criminal? Because I look a certain way? Does every person wearing leather fit a certain mold? You can enjoy a dark aesthetic without being a deplorable monster. It does not speak to psychopathy to enjoy the aesthetic of darker things- as long as you understand that all it is is an aesthetic.
Ngl if call of war didn't make false promises of rewarding you with 1,000 to 2,000 gold to come back after being inactive for weeks I'd like it a whole lot more
He's actually my great uncle. His sister fled Germany many years before the war. That lady is my great grandmother. Whenever we have family reunions everyone tries not to bring it up lol
Yeah I wonder that too. I understand he was hitlers right hand man, but the people you need to take power aren't the same as the people you need to keep power. Hess was definitely the first, so why would he be locked up the longest when he arguably did the least? And he wanted peace? There must be something we don't know about.
@@dustin628 he left before the war kicked off. I think that he knew to many secrets from the allies because before they invaded Poland the Allies supported Hitler. Being the right hand man of Hitler he knew ALLOT.Imagine all that being exposed in some newspaper. But that’s just me speculating. I don’t know all the facts.
If you look at Wiki, it says that at the Nürnberger Prozesse they didn't know about important activities of his, so it probably would have turned out differently if they had had more information/evidence. I think it's rather a disgrace that they let any of those people leave prison again...
How this man puts out content almost every two days is incredible! Thank you sir. Watched every video you have ever made except for maybe a couple. Always good stuff.
I was watching a video a few weeks back that was telling the story of his grandson. Their family tried to keep the truth from him, but when he got the truth, he left the family and set out to learn more and to do some good and he does, he is very involved in holocaust awareness. He is doing good things with an awful legacy.
My grandad used to guard Hess when he was in the British Army. I didn't know until after he died that he guarded him and my mam said he never talked about his life in Berlin and she didn't even know until after his death either. But I find it kind of cool that he guarded Spandau
@@hedgehog1965uk my mother's aunts and uncles told her that he was in the army and the years and stuff and she did as much research as she could do at the time and she found that he was there. She also mentioned to me that when she was younger her and my grandad watched a documentary on if it was really Hess in the prison and she said he wouldn't let her talk the whole time and he was watching the documentary like a hawk she thinks he might have been thinking if he noticed anything strange or something that's all I know
How about a 93 year old man, who had spend almost half his life in a cell, who was dying from cancer, and would have been released into a country that was unrecognizable from what he knew, where he would be the most hated man alive.
they had to silence the prisoner, no matter fake or real one, they had many reasons to do so, and 99,99999 percent of whatever crap then doesnt really matter
Has the concept of the Federal Reserve Banks still not intercepted this topic of conversation???... I think I have a bad case of the Balfour's,,...I mean yawns...goodnight the rest of humanity,,I mean Federal Reserve... PS,,we all know that Adolf bet against the hand that "fed" him???...
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 yeah, now I feel like one of them but the fact he managed to fly to Scotland without being noticed by radars in Dover means mustache man had more allies in UK than we think.
I remember reading that prosecutors at Nuremberg remarked that all of the top Nazis on trial looked like people you'd pass in the street, and never notice - except Goering and Hess. Hess, it was said, looked nuts from the get-go.
Fun Fact: The American warden for Spandau was Lt Ronald Spiers from Band of Brothers. Nazis weren’t exactly known for their mental stability. But I do find it odd that he waited so long to kill himself since he’d been in prison as long as he hadn’t at that point.
@@wolfx.2546 He never 'Almost served his sentence"..... he was NEVER getting out. EVER, and he knew it. Spandau was in WEST BERLIN, and whilst sharing their watch over him, it meant that the USSR had a legitimate reason for sending 100 Red Army soldiers in to West Berlin every three months. This was a conduit which could be, and WAS, thoroughly exploited by the KGB. So long as Hess lived, and remained imprisoned, he'd be of infinite value to the Soviets. Likewise, the British and US became very very good at watching who and what came through in to the Prison under the proviso of guarding Hess, it let them identify numerous KGB agents and tactics, this insight in to how the KGB would try to exploit conduits to infiltrate the West, and Western constructs, was again, of immense value to them. Especially the British. Thus both the British and the USSR had vested interests in both assuring Hess did NOT die, but also that he was never ever released. If they could have kept him alive long enough to become a super centenarian they WOULD have, for different reasons, as outlined above. He was 93, suffering arthritis, heart disease, and degenerations from age, like growing issues with his bodily control, over his bowels and bladder, for example, and thus was facing the indignity of being left a geriatric invalid cared for as a novelty, a prisoner of convenience, by the enemy. An enemy which would NEVER let him be freed. So he killed himself. Don't buy the BS his son tried to spin.
@@herrschmidt5477 Sadly enough, it's the modern day villains that ru(i)n the film studios. Today, you have to fully embrace your own side and hate and vilify the perceived enemy, meaning that absolutely nothing has changed, nor shall they ever change.
Yeah let Tom Cruise play Hesse. Maybe it will rake it in the box office. The title shall be "THE LAST NAZI" instead of the The Last Samurai. What a heart warming friendship story about Hiter's home boy.
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 you really need to take a chill pill Terry. I've seen you reply to practically every comment. All that hate you have is gonna give you a brain aneurysm!
This is what happens when you try to make peace with evil. Do not make peace with evil, destroy it. Better to die a hero like Hess than live as a traitor to your people like Churchill.
@@stupidvideoman3187 That's the last time any major economic power has ever dared to sever their economy from the parasitic globalized banking system. There's a reason there were so many "Judea declares war on Germany" articles published in newspapers in the early 1930's. It's never been about 'democracy vs evil'. It's about whether or not people have a right to live free from an aristocratic class of parasite bankers. The answer in the modern era is a resounding "no." The last nation that tried to manage their own currency was Iraq. China is in an interesting position right now, and trying to make a deal with the banking oligarchs rather than plunge the planet into another global war.
@@adolfwasrite7009 and Churchill was corrupted to the hilt. He stood by the food lined during and after the war, in solidarity with his people. When he died,his estate was 7million Pounds.
@@willembester4969 All of the allied players were. They went so far as to invent warcrimes on the opposing side to justify their own wretched behavior.
I am thankful Hitler became so full of himself to take on the Soviet Union. The outcome of the war might have been very different if Hitler had just been more careful
in a matter of few months he was at the gates of moscow, the incompetence of his allies as well as fighting on more than 1 front with harsh weather conditions and large swaths of land to invade is what cost him the war, not inability or inefficiency.
🌸🌹I cannot help but die of laughter every time I hear this tale. Of all conflicts, World War Two had some of the most riveting players, for better or for worse🌹🌸
Definitely for worse. A bunch of evil people worked to ensure that their great grand children would be debt slaves instead of free men in their own homeland.
It is said that, in Hitlers presence, Hess gave up his own personality and was completely submissive to Hitler. He was called "Hitler's lapdog" by the other high ranking Nazis. Untill now, it is not really known what Hess' assignments were, and what or how much he new.
Hess was murdered. His carer was specifically called away at that time. He returned, only to find military personnel around Hess's corpse and immediately asked, "How did they know?" Also, the electrical cord around his neck was not of sufficient length for all of the twisting required. (The cord shown in the video is wildly wrong. How long is the lamp cord in your house? Remember,Hess had been on suicide watch for decades, they even took away his glasses at night because he had previously tried suicide with even them. So,why have a super-extended cord?) Also, Hess's brother didn't believe it,he asked for an independent autopsy and was willing to pay for it himself. The West German Minister of Foreign Affairs ( if memory serves,it was some minister), talked the brother into dropping the autopsy by using many words and then invoking some or other law preventing West Germans from rising up against the Coalition forces.
Believe it or not, I'm related to him. My heart stopped when I saw his face on this video. Before my great grandfather passed away, he showed me some pictures of him.
@Tammy XoX kinda easy to talk for dead people eh? more likely, giving them a glimpse of what we turned out would either impress, or force some kind of bigot response.
@@jessemartin6393 you can call it a bigot response but the globalist liberals are ruining the world. No sane person can say that society has benefited as a whole from having this crap shoved down its throat. Just like insisting America is a melting pot. It never was, It's more of a salad bowl so to speak.
My elder brother sered Hess his breakfast several mornings. He was in the UK military police. From 1979 until 1990. He was based in Berlin for a couple of years. I hold him to write about it. However, correctly enough, he does not want to give the guy any publicity.
Well then he's stupid and also if he sees it subjectively he's more dumb that it sounds because in this things you need to be objective after all the history is write by the winners who are not always as good as they seem.
How? Literally noone can do it. Not even world's richest without being caught up. Lets be real,only parlaments in command of heavy weaponry can do that,and they should hope everyone present is very trustworthy. No offense ,but am I not right?
@@SadForLyf one hacker can ruin an entire infrastructure. Single people are in charge of nukes or have access to them he did not say that they could not do it without reprocutions just that someone could
@@patrickpardue9938 don't you think they would do it by now? Realisticlly,its heavily secured network of patches and shit just to enter first information. Let alone to get acces. And approval to get nukes to be send somewhere you need to get plenty of signatures in person,and pilots need to know exact date infront few days. Thats all I know,there must be many many more things. Its most dangerous weapon of humanity,dont be silly,no offense,but cmon man be real. We wouldn't type right now if that was the case.
There are so many more people that make up the government as a whole that no attack on any infrastructure or any place online or real would stop the government from functioning, that would just damage a lot of innocent people and be pointless. Bruh, top comments these days are all shtewpid.
You should do a video on my uncles uncle. The man who saved hitler in ww1. His name was Henry Tandey. It's interesting and there's a picture of them too that hitler had in his office and now in a german art gallery and the second one in a place where I can't say.
Ah, great video. You did miss the part where the Royal College of Surgeons voted unanimously that the man who died in Spandau Prison wasn’t Hess. But I suppose that’s quite an obscure fact.
Is that right? Wow. I mean, Thoughty2 made mention of his body being that of Hess' was in question for a time. But concluded to be his after all. Thank you for that nugget though. I will go check it out. Why do you think anyone would imprison someone else and pretend it is Hess?
I was told a story by people that live in Waterfoot, that they knew of German male who appeared in the region at the same time as Hess, and lived out the rest of his life in the area as a farm hand. It's claimed by some, that he was Hess' copilot, but never proven.
Ahh, yes, that would’ve been old Gruppenfuehrer Fritz McDougal. He blended right in with the locals and also made awesome peach schnapps and strudel.... 😝
Rudolf Hess was the editor and transcriber of Hitler's Mein Kampf. That makes him the world's first grammar Nazi... 🤪😄😁 *Ba-da-ttt* Edit: I posted this comment before I reached the part that stated the aforementioned information.
George and Wallace ? Maybe you meant Edward and Wallis Simpson ? I didn't know Edward had a specific liking for Hitler,but know Edward liked his uncle,Herzog Carl Eduard von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha.He was in charge of the German Red Cross.He visited him in 1937.Maybe that was the reason he got invited by Hitler. Or did you mean the British King mentioning George ? If so who was mr.Wallace ?
One of my American friends (we met on Discord) claims to be descended from Rudolf Hess. I was skeptical at first, but his last name is actually Hess...
He had a son but he never moved to America. He had three children but I don't know what became of them, ask him what his dad or grandad's name was. Rudolf's son was called Wolf
Oh, I had figured that Spandau Ballet was a reference to the WW1 machinegun equipped on biplanes and the aerial ballet of the dogfighting. To me that's more poetic and cooler hah.
Hey buddy love your videos watch you everyday I hope someday we can exspand your videos to tv series on the history channel my family loves your videos and my kids learn alot
@@dragonbutt No no buddy promoting Nazi's as cool action heroes just emboldens neo-Nazis and their absolutely stupid ideology. Imagine holocaust survivors seeing a movie that makes a Nazi look like a badass. Cringe.
@@letsplayanything9830 By that logic, fiction should not be allowed in any form in media. Look, i respect survivors of the holocaust and all those affected by the war and the nazi empire, but its just a movie. A satirical one. As for Neo Nazis, they're gonna do their thing regardless of what they see in the media.
Another strange tidbit was at the Nuremberg trials. Hess, never one on good terms with Hermann Göring, had suddenly become quite friendly with him. Meanwhile, all the love he had for women had become cold and distant. Almost like, if conspiracy theories were to be believed, the actor standing in for him got his cards mixed up. Or maybe history is just odd like that.
Both my parents fought in WW11, my dad from Inverness was a gunner in the Royal Navy and mum from Aberdeen in The ATS. My 3 brothers were born long before I was in fact they're 7, 8 & 9 years older. Dad thought it important that I knew about the war and would watch The world At War on TV with me. My Uncle Peter had spent years in a POW Japanese Camp and my understanding from listening to my father talk about him, I learned he was never the same man but was emancipated and subdued the rest of his life. I a child of perhaps 6 years like other children do say things that adults wish they wouldn't in my case I just happened to say which ironically was true my Uncle Peter looked exactly like Rudolph Hess. I can still after all these years recall the look of horror on the adults faces. I guess it's why I remember it so well.
@@Ignirium what are you talking about? I'm a better person than you could ever be. I just have to ability to pity those who have done bad things. If he was murdered it kind of throws everything that protects us out the window doesn't it now? Don't you dare insult my morality, I do my best to be a good person, how about yourself
@@royhay5741 "I'm a better person than you could ever be" - How paradoxical, Idk how you could know this lol. I just thought comparing the sympathy you shared for a Nazi coupled with the ideology of a sith lord was funny to make. In an absurd way. Your show of compassion to a Nazi high commander can be seen as respectful, complacent, insensitivity to the harm created, awarding humanity to a person who really didn't earn it to say the least, even intentional. Honestly i think you were only being compassionate and possibly not aware of other perspectives, possibly too compassionate. I actually watch(lectures) and read a lot of material around the subject of morality, it's a very large interest of mine. I love it. I wonder if you've learned anything about Jurisprudence, justice, revenge/retribution, The history of laws or the psycho dynamic effects exacting revenge (past societal laws) and retributive law (accepting modern laws) can have on people.
@@Ignirium Yea. It's not like every historical figure ever to comment on the matter said history is largely bunk. Half of what we think of as Knot Sea history started as alied propaganda.
@@Ignirium I'm really sorry mate, I feel really bad. I ruined something that was meant to be nice, I just took it the wrong way. I haven't replied until now because I've been trying to think of a response. I must sound pretty insecure about my morality with that last message. I didn't mean what I said, multiple factors made me read it the wrong way. Thanks for your message. He probably didn't deserve it, but, he sounds like kind of an idiot compared to other Nazis and it's kind of sad what he got himself into, being captured and spending the rest of his life in prison and alone too. Only a little bit, but, it sounds interesting. I should educate myself more on morals, as, I could definitely improve at rate. What's your favourite in particular? Once again, I'm really sorry about what I said mate, I didn't mean it, and I feel absolutely terrible. I've just ruined something nice. I'll delete my last comment if it's offensive at all?
Hess flew a twin engined Messerschmitt Bf 110 for his trip to Scotland. All the video footage was of a Messerschmitt Bf109 - a very different aircraft.
I remember when Hess died. The circumstances of his death came under question almost immediately. I recall the main argument being that he wasn't able to raise his arms high enough to have fastened the cord. The idea was that he was killed because it was costing a ridiculous amount of money to house one prisoner who was the only prisoner in a huge complex.
Of you watch the Simpson’s this will make sense” like the guy that safely landed the plane with all those people” “you mean sully Sullivan” “no, rudolf Hess”
Hugh Thomas didn’t give him the exam. He had just been in the room as an observer and some sources say he never actually got that close. Also, really good video. I quite enjoyed the animations.
that's what you call "a likely story"; starting with the alledged suicide by supposed choking with with a power cord tied to a window while lying on the floor; more likely he was just choked off with the cord and then the cord tied to the window; the scenario justified the wording of the paperwork for "hanging" and in the end as the saying goes: it's what you can prove that counts; then the question of whether hitler and hess planned to negotiate peace with the british seems the more likely scenario; they never wanted war with the british in the first place, and to go east towards moscow, getting the british off their backs on the western side would have been a decisive matter.
He came down in a field just outside the village of Eaglesham, as most sources claim and I can also attest too as I live in the area and have been the the aviation museum where the recovered engine of his plane was held at the time.
Only started watching your content yesterday,very good its interesting and informative.My father was in the Royal Green Jackets in the 70’s and was one of Hess's guards .
