More turns to the mystery of Rudolf Hess

I tend to discount most of the supposed wild tales and mysteries surrounding WWII, but there are several important ones that I believe have real legitimacy. And of those, the major one is the flight of Rudolf Hess. To make a long story short, there appears to be circumstantial evidence pointing in either direction - an unhinged fool on a silly romantic quest, or a real chapter in secret negotiations between Britain and Germany. The main difficulty is that we'll probably never know for sure. Churchill was no fool, particularly when it came to self promotion and historical record. He would have kept a very tight hand on any documentation that he felt affected his legacy, and would have had it destroyed the moment it was no long needed.
