But a 28-page notebook discovered in a Russian archive disputes this theory and indicates that Hitler was in on the mission. It was written in 1948 by Major Karlheinz Pintsch, a long-time adjutant to Hess.
He was captured by the Soviets and spent years undergoing torture and interrogation at their hands.
In the notebook he writes that Hitler hoped that an ‘agreement with the Englishmen would be successful’.
Pintsch notes that Hess’s task – five weeks before Germany launched its invasion of Russia – was to ‘bring about, if not a military alliance of Germany with England against Russia, then to bring about a neutralisation of England’.
