An undisclosed fracture at a military hospital frames a theory that Rudolf Hess arrived in Scotland as a self styled peace emissary without Nazi approval. An old acquaintance recalls Hess writing a peace feeler to the Duke of Hamilton and choosing a landing near the duke’s estate, seeking him after a broken ankle. Hess reportedly carried a blue penciled map showing his route and the duke’s estate ringed, fueling claims he sought Hamilton’s aid to end the war, a claim German officials say they disavow. British officials offered no comment, while an informed source cautioned suspicion of the whole affair.
