Hess reveals unapproved 1941 peace mission to Britain
Adolf Hitler's ally Rudolf Hess says his 1941 flight to Scotland aimed at peace with Britain occurred without the Fuehrer's knowledge. Hess, 86, in Spandau Jail since 1947, said British rejection came in exchange for German dominance of Europe. He did not name Hitler, but referenced the "higher ups" in his letters released to his wife.

The fires burned thousands of acres including Piney Green and Dixon area stretches with arson blamed for many blazes. Five firefighters were injured and crews worked in military style operations to control the spread as backfires were lit in Florida to protect surrounding land.
