 RUDOLF HESS AND THE ANTHROPOSOPHISTS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Primary sources indicate that Hess was indeed an opponent of anthroposophy: in a letter to Himmler of November 19, 1935, Hess expressed his support of the November 1, 1935 prohibition of the Anthroposophical Society in Germany with the words "...in that these days action is rightfully being taken against the remains of Anthroposophy" (91).
Hess continues by recommending the closure of all but two to three "experiment" schools, while replacing important teachers with "trustworthy members of the party." His goal is thereby that the "worthwhile pedagogical achievements of these schools, freed from the teachings of anthroposophy be preserved and cultivated for the benefit of the students"(222).
Rudolf Hess and Heinrich Himmler may have otherwise been opponents in internal affairs, but they shared - along with other Nazi leaders - a mistrust or even hate of what they saw as a mystical-occult movement.

I reckon the trip to England in '41 (date?) by Rudolf Hess was made entirely without prompting by anybody of either side, and that Hitler was livid.

Hess decided in the spring of 1941 to bring the continuing military struggle between Germany and Britain to an end by means of a spectacular coup and thereby restore his flagging prestige.

 Rudolf Hess   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Rudolf Hess Rudolf Hess should not be confused with another prominent Nazi, Rudolf Höß (also spelled Höss or Hoess.) Walter Richard Rudolf Hess ('''Heß''' in German) (April 26, 1894–August 17, 1987) was a prominent figure in Nazi Germany as Adolf Hitler's deputy in the Nazi Party.
Hess had a privileged position as Hitler's deputy in the early years of the Nazi movement, but became increasingly marginalized in the 1930s as Hitler concentrated more and more powers into his person; his position as deputy hence became quite meaningless.
Hess believed Hamilton to be an opponent of Winston Churchill and came to see him because he did not want to negotiate directly with Churchill or his cabinet as he held them responsible for the outbreak of the war.

On closer scrutiny, though, much of the text explaining Hess and the world in which he lived while still an active soldier or politician turns out to be rather superficial and tainted with a certain bias against the man.
In the case of Hess` flight on 10 May 1941, the aircraft`s performance, both potential and actual, is an important issue; the question whether the flight was well-prepared or undertaken at the spur of the moment hinges upon such technical considerations.
The background provided of Rudolf Hess gives one a good idea of the mindset of the man and what may have caused him to make the flight.

In the book too we reproduce dental records of Rudolf Hess and of the old man who died at Spandau and they are not of the same man. We took them to a consultant dentist in this country and asked if they were from the same person and his reply was “Absolutely not”.
For example, when Hess was first imprisoned in England it was at Aldershot and the place was a fortress; but then all of a sudden after a few months “Hess” was moved amid virtual fanfare to Abergavenny and the staff lined up to meet him and it was in the newspapers.
LP: Well, Hess, or whoever the old man in Spandau was, became the focus for the Cold War; and as far as the Russians were concerned, the focus for their hatred of the Nazi regime.
