Dear all
John Harris and Richard Wilbourn have been researching the Hess flight for some 35+ years and have recently released the above book. It finally demolishes the nonsense that Hess was 'delusional and stole a plane and flew to the enemy'. This was the Nazi state communique issued on 12th May 1941 and was no more than a sop to Stalin to try and explain the Deputy Fuehrer's extraordinary flight. The flight was meticulously planned and the book details the navigational system used: the then state of the art ELEKTRA system. Using contemporary evidence it also explains what went wrong and why Hess eventually had to crash. Recommended for all WW2 students.![]()
