Hess Mission to Briton Aims at Peace Talks, 1941
Rudolf Hess parachuted into Scotland in 1941 to negotiate peace with King George VI, seeking to avert a Nazi attack on Russia. Hitler learned of the plan from Hess's letter and reacted with fury. Hess chose the Duke of Hamilton as a contact to reach the king, making a secret flight that surprised even Goering and Ribbentrop. Hess was captured after landing, with Goering and others deeming the mission mad.
