Features: On the night of May 10, 1941, a German Messerschmitt fighter landed mysteriously in the remote mountains of Scotland. The pilot of the fighter landed near a farm. This pilot was Rudolf Hess, Hitler's right-hand man and the Deputy Führer of Germany. The news of Hess's solo flight to Britain immediately shocked the world, but it was quickly covered up by the German and British governments as "the madness of a lunatic." Hess's solo flight to Britain was highly suspicious, and coupled with his silence in prison after the war, it gave rise to all kinds of speculations about his motives for the flight. To this day, there is no sufficient evidence to prove whether the British government's intelligence agency orchestrated this event, nor is there compelling evidence to show how Hess's incident significantly impacted the course of World War II. In the midst of World War II, a pure Deputy Führer flying alone to an enemy country left people with one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of the war. Author Martin A. Allen studied a vast number of secret archives from the UK, Germany, and the United States, and the historical materials he unearthed shocked later generations. This not only gave people a fresh perspective on World War II but also allowed us to examine from another angle the forces behind the scenes manipulating the post-war European and global political landscape.
