...when he shocked the world by parachuting from a Messerschmitt fighter onto the Duke of Hamilton's estate in Scotland. His mission, he claimed, was to end the war between "the great Nordic nations" Britain and Germany. Hess did not have the approval of Hitler for his peacemaking mission, and indeed was quickly denounced by the Führer as "crazy." Hess remains convinced of the sacredness of his mission. "True, I achieved nothing," he wrote. "I could not save the people, but it makes me happy to think that I tried...
