WHAT DO THEY FEAR? WHOM DO THEY FEAR?
ZOG scum even have to fall to the level of
destroying a man's grave after falsely imprisoning him for 46 years
before murdering him as they feared the Prisoner of Peace so much.
Notice how in parts this report from the BBC says that Rudolf Hess was
'found hanged' in Spandau Prison, not 'hanged himself' as even they
know that the 'Hess committed suicide' nonsense is wearing a bit thin
amongst even non-NS people.
When
will they be exhuming Josef Stalin, destroying his grave (mausoleum),
burning his body and throwing his ashes in the sea?
Remember,
Rudolf Hess was NEVER convicted of any 'atrocities', he was convicted
on spurious evidence of 'waging aggressive war' which, coming from the
three most aggressive nations to ever exist on this planet, the UK, the
USA and the Soviet Union, is a bit rich.
Remember,
Hess flew to Britain in 1941 to sue for peace between Britain and
Germany, our two kindred nations. The people who threw him into
solitary confinement for 46 years and then murdered him in 1987 were
the REAL criminals.
Wasn't Rudolf Hess' widow Ilse Hess and other relatives
of Rudolf Hess also buried in that grave? What has happened to their
remains?
The grave holding the remains of Adolf Hitler's
deputy Rudolf Hess has been destroyed to stop it being used as a
pilgrimage site by neo-Nazis.
Hess's bones were exhumed at the
graveyard in the town of Wunsiedel, southern Germany, early on
Wednesday.
The remains were later cremated
and are to be scattered at sea.
Hess was captured after flying to
Britain in 1941 and sentenced to life in prison. He killed himself in a
Berlin jail in 1987 at the age of 93.
As he requested in his will, he
was buried in the small Bavarian town of Wunsiedel, where his family
had a holiday home and where his parents were already interred.
The local Lutheran church which
supervises the cemetery gave its permission for the burial at the time,
ruling that the wishes of the deceased could not be ignored.
But they and local people have
since become concerned by the number of far-right groups visiting the
grave.
'Peace'
Each year on the anniversary of
his death, neo-Nazis have attempted to stage a march to the cemetery,
saluting the grave with its epitaph "I dared", and laying floral
wreaths.
A member of the church council,
Hans-Juergen Buchta, told the Associated Press news agency: "The whole
town was shut down and in turmoil and there was a huge police presence.
We here at the graveyard were not always able to cope."
A 2005 court order banning such gatherings had little effect
so the church decided to terminate the family's lease on the grave as
of October 2011.
Before
and after: Rudolf Hess's grave was demolished to prevent neo-Nazis
holding rallies there on the anniversary of his death
A granddaughter of Hess objected to the decision and filed a
lawsuit in an attempt to prevent it going ahead, but was eventually
persuaded by the parish council to drop the case and allow the
exhumation to go ahead.
Roland Schoeffel, the deputy mayor of Wunsiedel, told AFP news
agency that the monument had been razed "in an operation not open to
the public".
Cemetery administrator Andreas Fabel told AP news agency on
Thursday: "The grave is now empty. The bones are gone."
One resident, named as Mrs Koenig, said: "Perhaps we will now
have some peace when he is gone. Perhaps they won't come any more,
which is what Wunsiedel wants."
Charlotte Knobloch, the head of the Jewish community in Munich
and Upper Bavaria, welcomed the move.
"For decades this town and its inhabitants were terrorised by
far-right extremists from all over the world," she is quoted as saying
by AFP.
Hess was one of Hitler's closest aides. But in 1941 he made a
solo flight to Scotland, where his plane crash-landed, in an apparently
unauthorised peace mission which was denounced by the fuhrer.
He was imprisoned by the British for the duration of the war.
At the Nuremberg Trials in 1946, Hess was cleared of war
crimes and crimes against humanity but convicted of crimes against
peace and jailed for life.
He spent 40 years in Spandau Prison in Berlin.
He was the last remaining inmate at the prison when he was
found hanged there in August 1987.

<>Authorities
seek to erase memory of Rudolf Hess with ‘disappearance’ of his remains
By SIOBHAN DOWLING
<>The Guardian, London Thursday, 21 July
2011
BERLIN — For the past two decades, every 17 August has seen
the small Bavarian town of Wunsiedel become overwhelmed by neo-Nazi
pilgrims. The far-right gathers to commemorate the death of Rudolf
Hess, the [National Socialist] deputy to Adolf Hitler, who was buried
in the town cemetery.
Now officials in Wunsiedel are hoping they have come up with a way of
keeping the rightwing hordes away. In the early hours of Wednesday
morning, Hess's remains were exhumed and the gravestone — which read "Ich
hab's gewagt" or "I have dared" — has been destroyed.
With the agreement of his family
members, his remains were then to be cremated and his ashes scattered
at sea. The opportunity to remove the grave came when Hess's
granddaughter applied for a 20-year
extension of the grave's lease, which was due to expire in October.
"We decided not to extend the lease
because of all the unrest and disturbances," said Peter Seisser, the
chairman of the parish council.
COLLUSION WITH CHURCH PASTOR
Although some relatives initially
objected to the exhumation, negotiations between the church's pastor
and Hess's granddaughter resulted in the agreement to remove the
remains from the town. The far-right has
long considered Hess to be a "martyr to the Fatherland" and they
rallied in Wunsiedel for their first march in his honor in August 1988.
One of Hitler's closest aides, Hess
was captured after flying to Scotland in 1941 in a failed attempt to
convince Great Britain to negotiate a peace agreement with Nazi
Germany.
He was convicted of war crimes at
the Nuremberg trials and sentenced to life imprisonment. Hess was the
sole inmate in Spandau prison in the British-occupied part of West
Berlin when he [allegedly] killed
himself* on 17 August 1987 at the age of 93.
Wunsiedel's Protestant parish
council reluctantly agreed at the time to honor his final wishes to be
buried with his parents in the cemetery.
However, local people became
increasingly annoyed with the town's status as a Nazi pilgrimage site.
In 2004, the mayor, Karl-Will Beck,
launched the "Wunsiedel is colorful and not brown" campaign and,
together with town councilors, church officials and citizens, he tried
to block the neo-Nazis from gathering at the grave.
‘INCITEMENT
TO HATRED’
The German parliament
passed an amendment in 2005 to the existing legislation on incitement
to hatred, specifically to prevent such gatherings. Otto Schily,
Germany's interior minister at the time, said it was done "in
solidarity with the democratic public of Wunsiedel".
However, this failed to solve the problem and the
neo-Nazis kept coming. "The Hess marches may have been forbidden but
groups like
the far-right National Democratic party could still hold demonstrations
on other issues," Seisser told the Guardian.
He hopes the removal of the remains will put an end to
the annual invasion. "At least the pilgrimage site for the radical
right has been removed," he said. "The grave no longer exists."
*
Actually, he was murdered by a special British MI5 team, with the
collusion of the Americans and
French, to prevent him from revealing details of his peace mission.

Rudolf Hess's remains taken from grave in dead of night,
cremated and scattered after it became neo-Nazi pilgrimage site
- Last surviving member of
Hitler's cabinet and last inmate of Spandau died in 1987 aged 93
- Deputy Fuhrer was early
confidant but was captured in Scotland in 1941 on failed mission to
negotiate peace
Hero of the far-Right: Rudolf Hess, whose remains
have been removed from his grave, cremated and scattered
The remains of Adolf Hitler’s
deputy, Rudolf Hess, have been secretly removed from their grave after
it became a pilgrimage site for neo-Nazis.
Workers exhumed Hess’s bones
from the grave in the small Bavarian town of Wunsiedel yesterday in the
middle of the night.
They then cremated the remains
and scattered them secretly in a lake, whose name and location are not
being revealed.
'The grave is now empty,' said
cemetery administrator Andreas Fabel. 'The bones are gone.'
Deputy Fuhrer Hess was
captured in 1941 when he parachuted into Scotland - breaking his ankle
in the process - on a mission to negotiate peace between Britain and
Germany.
The attempt was denounced by
Hitler, and Hess later told British authorities that the Nazi leader
knew nothing of it.
He was later convicted at the
Nuremberg trials after the Second World War, and died in 1987.
In recent years, Hess has come
to be seen as a martyr by the far-Right.
Thousands of neo-Nazis have
used the anniversary of his death on August 17 as an occasion to hold
large rallies, with Wunsiedel - near the Czech border -often a focal
point.
Gone without a trace: Rudolf Hess's
headstone is no longer to be seen in Wunsiedel, close to Bayreuth on
the Czech border
'I REGRET
NOTHING': THE LIFE OF RUDOLF HESS
Born to a wealthy Bavarian
family, Hess spent his first 14 years in Egypt before going to Germany
to finish his education and begin a career as a merchant.
At the outbreak of the First World
War, Hess enlisted in the German infantry. He was wounded on several
occasions and was awarded the Iron Cross, second class, for his
exploits.
Hess first heard Adolf Hitler speak
at a Munich rally in 1920. He became devoted to Hitler and joined the
fledgling Nazi Party as one of its first members.
After Hitler assumed dictatorial
powers in early 1933, Hess was named 'Deputy to the Fuhrer'. On 1
September 1939, the day Germany invaded Poland, Hitler announced that
should anything happen to both him and Hermann Göring, Hess would
be next in the line of succession.
Like Goebbels, Hess was privately
distressed by the war with Britain because he had hoped it would accept
Germany as an ally.
On May 10, 1941, Hess took off from
Augsburg in a Messerschmitt Bf 110. After reaching the west coast of
England he turned east before climbing and parachuting over
Renfrewshire and he landed at Floors Farm near Eaglesham.
Winston Churchill initially sent
Hess to the Tower of London, making him the last prisoner to be held in
the 900-year-old fortress. Hess was detained by the British for the
remainder of the war.
After the end of the war, Hess was
tried at Nuremberg alongside other Nazi leaders. He was sentenced to
life in prison for crimes against peace but told the tribunal, 'I
regret nothing.'
Following the release in 1966 of
Baldur von Schirach and Albert Speer, Hess was the sole remaining
inmate of Spandau Prison, partly at the insistence of the Soviets.
On 17 August 1987, Hess died at the
age of 93. He was found in a summer house in a garden located in a
secure area of the prison with an electrical cord wrapped around his
neck.
His death was controversially ruled
a suicide by asphyxiation. Spandau Prison was subsequently demolished
to prevent it from becoming a shrine.
Hess was the last surviving
member of Hitler's cabinet.
Such rallies have been banned
since stricter laws were implemented in 2005, but the grave continued
to attract far-Right extremists to the town.
German newspaper Suddeutsche
Zeitung said the descendants of Hess were initially against the idea of
exhuming his body.
A granddaughter of Hess even
filed a law suit to prevent it.
But the family eventually
caved in to pressure from the local authorities and agreed to have his
remains taken away.
However, according to Fabel,
with the lease on the burial plot coming up for renewal in October,
Hess’s relatives and Lutheran church authorities in the town decided it
was best to remove the remains.
'Both sides were in favour of
it,' he added.
Hess was an early confidant of
Hitler, and, while Hitler was imprisoned in the 1920s, the Nazi leader
dictated much of his infamous manifesto Mein Kampf, or My Struggle, to
him.
Hess eventually rose to the
position of deputy Nazi party leader, but by 1941 his influence with
Hitler was waning.
His flight to Scotland is
widely seen by historians as an attempt to restore his importance.
Instead, Hitler said he was
delusional and the British treated him as a prisoner of war.
The Fuhrer then sacked Hess
and ordered him to be shot if he ever returned to Germany.
He appointed Martin Boorman as
his new deputy.
At the Nuremberg trials after
the war, Hess was found innocent of war crimes and crimes against
humanity, but sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes against peace
and conspiracy to commit crimes against peace.
Hess was the last inmate at
Spandau Prison in then-West Berlin when he died on August 17, 1987 at
the age of 93.
Allied authorities said he
hanged himself with an electrical cord.
The prison was demolished
shortly afterwards and the rubble secretly disposed of.
Hess was buried in his family
plot in Wunsiedel, at his request.
Many far-Right groups say Hess
did not commit suicide but was killed by British military guards in
prison, and conspiracy theories about the Nazi, who was interested in
the occult, abound.
