Morning hippy. How are you this cold, dull miserable day?
You're interested in military history, just bren reading about Hess, fascinating stuff. Wanting to broker a peace deal, and allegedly join up gainst Russia. The stuff about his death doesn't really add up either, ssuming it was him. What's your take? I like his epitaph though_ I dared. That's cool.

I don't suppose the truth will ever come out
It could have been a trick by British intelligence.

The whole thing was a barrel of shit imho.
Pretty much think it wasn't him in Spandau though.

Allegedly a good few of the British hierarchy were very German-sympathetic
including members of the Royal Family.

The nazi appreciation of Britain was highly flawed, and their intelligence services not working together
It could have been that the Germans really believed that the aristocracy held political power.

Have you ever heard of 'The House of Lords'?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 12 Sep 2013, 8:18, Reply)

'House of Gaylords' more like.
But the point stands, Its a massive struggle for the lords to alter the commons legislation.

It certainly is nowadays
think the HOL had a lot more power back then.
