This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudolf Hess [1894-1987] was indisputably according to rank 'The Second Man' of the Third Reich. Contrary to mainstream historical opinion he did prove himself as a skilled operator and manager of all party affairs. Hess represented Hitler as his 'Stellvertreter' [Personal Representative]and dominated the party bureaucracy, using his personal links to intellectuals, bureaucrats, diplomats and the SS-SD to establish his vision for a racial society. This Volume undertakes a thorough examination of Hess' career as an NSDAP politician in the years up to 1941. Hess develops as an intellectual anti-Semite. Such ambition leads to a clash with his 'mentor', Dr. Karl Haushofer, a fatherly figure in his life, whose aristocratic-reactionary ideals Hess rejects. He becomes Hitler's Private Secretary in 1925; in April,1933, 'Stellvertreter'. One sees Hess emerging as an independent figure vitalized with his own ideas for racial utopia. His influence on Hitler and his partnership with Joseph Goebbels characterize the dramatic events up to the Nazi 'seizure of power'. This study reveals Hess as a sophisticated anti-Semite not to be under- estimated.

Captured by the British, he was held for the rest of the war, before being convicted of war crimes at the Nuremberg Trials in 1946.Desmond Zwar collaborated with Col. Burton C.

Bird, US Governor of Spandau Prison (where Hess was held for over forty years), for The Loneliest Man in the World. For reasons of practicality, neither of these books told the full story, which is now revealed for the first time in Talking to Rudolf Hess.As well as his interviews with Hess and others, Zwar tells the incredible story of how this book came to be written, including how Hess hid proofs in his underpants, how Bird was sacked and how the CIA tried to recover the transcripts.

Download or read book The Demon of Geopolitics written by Holger H. Herwig and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Haushofer, a Bavarian general and professor, is widely recognized as the “father of geopolitics.” In 1945 the United States sought to put him on trial at Nuremberg as a major war criminal for being “Hitler’s intellectual godfather” and the true author of Mein Kampf. In this definitive biography, noted historian Holger H. Herwig assesses the fiction and reality behind these claims. Making comprehensive use of Haushofer’s previously unavailable private papers, Herwig analyzes Haushofer’s geopolitical concepts, his relations with his student Rudolf Hess, and his mentorship of Hitler and Hess at Landsberg Prison in 1924. Herwig offers unique insights into Haushofer’s crucial behind-the-scenes influence in providing the Nazis with his theories of Autarky and Lebensraum, the rationale for Germany’s control of Europe and the world. This riveting book ends with Haushofer’s final verdict on himself: “I want to be forgotten and forgotten.” But the author concludes with the admonition that the “demon” of Geopolitik demands much closer scrutiny in this new age of geopolitics.
Download or read book Hess Which Hess written by Eric Sturdy and published by Mousegate Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hess's life story in itself makes for fascinating reading and D. Eric Sturdy has interwoven a fictional aspect into Hess's biography and created a plausible story involving Britain's MI6, America's CIA, the Soviet KGB and the foremost politicians of the day. Rudolf Hess's parentage and family connections in Germany are well established, as is his involvement in World War I when he was seriously wounded and learnt to fly during the last months of the war. Hess's enlistment and advancement in the Nazi Party after the 1918 armistice, and his promotion to become Adolf Hitler's Deputy Fuhrer in the 1930s, is again a matter of historical fact, and the Nazi hierarchy described in the book existed and worked with Hess. Likewise, after Hess's peace-making flight to Britain on 10th May 1941, military personnel, doctors, politicians and MI6 agents were known to have been involved during his captivity at Mytchett Place in Aldershot and Maindiff Court in Abergavenny The author's experience at Spandau Prison in 1952 and 1953 generated an enduring interest in the fate of the seven Nazi war criminals in custody. The sole Nazi figure still shrouded in mystery is "Rudolf Hess." Doppelganger theorists have made a strong case to prove that Prisoner No.7's "suicide" was a murder plot. The Author has strived to unravel the minefield of information surrounding the identity of Prisoner No. 7 and, in the light of information currently available, the truth about his suicide and has recorded a fictional scenario about the ultimate fate of the "real" Rudolph Hess.
