Rudolf Hess - The Third Wheel of Nazi Germany

Rudolf Hess, born on April 26, 1894, was a German politician and member of the Nazi party. He was known for his devotion and loyalty to Adolf Hitler, and was often referred to as the Führer’s right-hand man. However, he was also known for his awkward and undesirable presence in Nazi Germany, earning him the title of the “Third Wheel”.

Hess had a strange fascination with astrology and mysticism, leading him to undertake absurd experiments in search of ancient knowledge. As a result, Hitler and other high-ranking Nazi officials often ridiculed him, leading Hess to become a bit of a laughing stock within the party.

Despite his quirks, Hess proved to be a valuable asset to the Nazis during their rise to power. He was instrumental in the creation of the infamous “Enabling Act”, which ultimately gave Hitler dictatorial power. However, his contributions were often overshadowed by his bizarre behavior and general lack of social skills.

Hess’s obsession with finding the perfect solution to Germany’s problems led him to embark on a solo mission to Britain in 1941. He hoped to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the war, but his attempt was met with confusion and ridicule from both sides. Hess was eventually captured and spent the rest of the war in prison.

After World War II, Hess was tried and convicted of war crimes at the Nuremberg trials. He died by suicide in Spandau Prison in 1987, after spending over 40 years behind bars.

While Hess may have been a devoted member of the Nazi party, his strange fascinations and social awkwardness made him a bit of a joke within the party. He is often remembered as the “Third Wheel” of Nazi Germany, the odd man out in a group of ruthless dictators.
