The Daily History Chronicle

On May 10, 1941, Hitler's Deputy Führer flew solo to Scotland to broker a secret peace and Winston Churchill spent the next seventy-six years making sure you didn't find out what he said. The Hess flight is one of World War II's most suppressed stories: a war criminal who tried to stop a war, a government that may have negotiated and then buried the evidence, and a man who died in prison at ninety-three with secrets that are still classified. This is not the story you learned in school.
