The Murder of Rudolf Hess

Dr. Hugh Thomas, the author of this book, was a general surgeon at the British Military Hospital of Berlin from 1972-1973. In Spandau prison, he met someone known as Rudolf Hess, the man who had once been Adolf Hitler's deputy. Thomas made the shocking discovery that this man was not Hess, but a doppelganger. Innocent sentenced - life imprisonment - until death followed! In 1979, Thomas published his story that was received with mixed feelings by the world. Not everyone believed the theory of this eminent British surgeon, who has since done nothing to denounce this miscarriage of justice. Thomas' accusation threatened to fall silent until... the prisoner died! The autopsy report proved Thomas right. This man, who has been imprisoned for 46 years, cannot possibly have been Rudolf Hess. A huge scandal is looming in Great Britain, because in this book Thomas also shows by revealing forbidden files that the innocent prisoner was murdered by British agents. Why? This book provides the answer to one of the greatest riddles of the Second World War.
