The latest thoeries about rudolf hess

I continue to believe that hess's voyage is one of the two or three great mysteries of the War, another being Churchill's attempts at negotiation with the axis from mid 1940 to mid 1941. This story touches on both, significantly. But I remain unconvinced of hess having official sanction or negotiating power. And his flight is all too dramatic, when official channels were conveniently available in Switzerland, Sweden, Spain and Portugal. I do think something was going on, on both counts, but the evidence is too slim, and the mysteries may never be solved.
