Rudolf Hess, British Royals + An Unsolved Nazi Mystery | Ep.65 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

The SCANDAL Mongers Podcast

Why did Adolf Hitler's deputy and trusted confidante fly alone to an isolated

corner of Scotland at the height of World War Two?

Was it the act of a madman? Was it to conclude a secretly negotiated

peace deal with some of the most senior members of the British

aristocracy and - potentially - the royal family itself? Was

it to help senior conservatives launch a coup against Churchill? Or

was it all the result of a clever British intelligence plot?

Whatever the true reason, Rudolf Hess himself never got to speak it

since for the rest of his life he was kept well away from journalists and writers.

John Harris has spent decades investigating the affair. Here he joins Andrew and Phil to

discuss his latest discoveries and insights.
