S Exira! Hess Sent fo Gef Brifish Aid Revealed as Hifler Envoy to Enlist English Agamst Russua (Continued from Page One) th~ Nari party, Hitler sided with the anti-Red group and the wheels were in motion to line up the British. 1t was realized that they would have to be approached in such a manner that they could not'doubt the authenticity of the Nazi plan. £o He s was chosen for this mission. Nct only was he the one man in Ger- m.ny closest to Hitler, but he was alio known for his hatred of Com- minism. And before the war he had centacts with the British nobil- ity. 5o Hess, not flying alone, but ac- npanied by several guiding planes and not taking off from central G rmany as reported, but from Nor- wuy, made his dramatic descent on the estate of the Scotch Duke of Hamilton. Hess' Message ‘The message brought by Hess in substance was as follow. (1) Britain and Germany would enter a coalition as the chief part- rers in a new Axis; (2) Italy would be placated with some minor pm- se sions of France, which would be | stripped of its empire; (3) Germany would retain a free hand on the whole of the Continent, with Britain he'ping to establish that free hand by joining Germany in conquering Russia, The British Government’s answer was to incarcerate Hess and immed- iately notify Washington and Mos- cow of the plan. The subsequent chain of events | is history. Darlan and Laval were among the first to get wind of the scheme, and rushed to Hitler offer- inz complete “collaberation.” This drew withering denunclations from Piresident Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull. Britani, which for -months been tryin gto make up its mind to attack in Syria, launched an of- fensive with Free French forces to ceize this strategically- vital region. Then on June 15, British Intelli- gence got wind of quiet German withdrawals of air and other forces from French bases. This was why the British took the initiative in their continuous day and night bombing raids wreaking havoc on key German centers. Fearful of attack and anxious to appease in all directions, Moscow abandoned its stiff-necked coolness to Japan and hurriedly signed a pact in order to ensure at least tem- porary tranquillity on ‘its eastern border. Simultaneously Stalin aban- doned his traditional behind-the- scenes role and actively assumed the reins as Premier of Russia. Russia began massing 160 divisions on its western borders, It was at this time that Ambassa- dor John Winant returned to the U.S.A. at the request of Prime Min-| ister Churchill in order to give Pres- ident Roosevelt a complete fill-in and to deliver categoric assurances from Churchill that Britain will never make peace with Hitler. (NOTE: The British Government was so sure Hitler would attack Rus- | sia that Churchill was able to pre- pare and deliver his historic radio address only 18 hours after Hmer invaded Russia.)
