It's a little early for Whitney Houston jokes, Subby.

There was no mystery. She died the same way she lived: full of cocaine the night before a major awards broadcast.

As long as he is still dead Im good with it.

He was a 93 year old Nazi. Nobody really cares if he killed himself or was murdered. It's a win-win either way.

FTA "A photograph showing the electrical cord attached to the window handle less than 5ft off the ground has prompted sceptics to suggest it would be next to impossible for Hess to hang himself from such a height."

Do these skeptics know nothing about suicide?

Incredibly jejune, even for the Fail. What light can possibly be shed on this event at a quarter century's remove? Is this to be the Kennedy assassination myth of the Nazi era? Oh, wait, I forgot about the endless speculation over Hitler's death.......

You're an idiot.

He went to Scotland to talk to aristocrats who were fascist sympathists in an attempt for them to presure parliament into attempting peace with Germany so they could put all their resources into the war with Russia. It was never in the nazi thoughts to stop the war altogether, and Hess was instrumental in putting together the race laws as well as being an architect of the 2nd world war. He was second in command. He was no dove of peace and it was entirely sanctioned by Berlin, even if they changed their story afterwards.

He tried to make peace with the UK in the hopes that they would go along with the Nazi's conquests and policies in the East. As for his imprisonment being a "travesty of justice," what would you suggest as a suitable punishment for an individual who played a key role in the destruction of the Weimir Republic, the creation of a Nazi dictatorship, the establishment of anti-semitic laws, and the planning of the most destructive war in human history?

This, and: Those of us with actual functioning intelligence hate the Nazis for what they did before, during, and after Hess' flight. Hess was in Hitler's innermost circle before and during his rise to power. He was there when the demonization of Jews and other minorities started. He was there when Hitler seized power, and when he began the re-armament of Germany that put it on an inevitable path to war. He even took down dictation for Mein Kampf, FFS. It would take a spectacular act of willful ignorance for anyone to exonerate Hess.

By the way, whatever happened to that conspiracy theory that claimed that the man who flew to Scotland and was subsequently imprisoned in Spandau was an imposter?

I didn't say the guy deserved a ticker tape parade but your argument is just horrible.

-First of all, use a spellchecker. Calling someone an idiot and not knowing how to spell "pressure" is hilariously ironic.
-This was 1941. Many countries including the United States had race laws on hand at the time.
-The war wouldn't have ended, that's true. keep in mind that in 1941 the war hadn't escalated to the epic proportions that would justify a 40 year prison sentence for anyone involved at a high level. War has been perpetual throughout history and you can't imprison everyone who is instrumental in starting one. Actually, maybe you should but nobody else does.

They have a cord that "allegedly" took Hess' life.

Is the quoted term used because of possible law suits, like the asinine disclaimers we see on US TV commercials? "Do not drive a fictitious automobile on a moon-looking television set to the song 'Jump Around.'"

Attorneys serve one purpose, self-perpetuation.

That is a down-right lie. They also ...no, wait, self perpetuation has it covered.

Americans have a tradition of killing Hessians in their sleep on Christmas morning. He's lucky he lasted so long.

You know who was the warden (or the military term for the equivalent) of Spandau prison at that time? Ronald Spiers - yes, the kinda scary guy in Band Of Brothers who allegedly shot those German prisoners after giving them cigarettes.

Surprised Hess' suicide wasn't by 30 .45ACP rounds...
