The Murder of Rudolf Hess by W. Hugh Thomas - 1979

On the night of May 10, 1941, a German parachutist landed in Scotland and made the astonishing announcement that he was none other than Rudolf Hess, Hitler's Deputy. From that time on, both the man and his case have presented elements of disturbing mystery.

That mystery may now be on its way to a solution. In 1973, W. Hugh Thomas, a surgeon at the British Military Hospital in Berlin, made two routine examinations of prisoner #7, now the sole occupant of Spandau Prison. What he found on the man's body - or rather what he did not find - raised questions he could not dismiss, and which have left him to finally uncover the most sensational imposture of the Second World War. Dr. Thomas's book makes a convincing case that the man who has been in Spandau prison for the past thirty-four years is not Rudolf Hess.
