National Trusteeship[edit]

Hess seems to have run this fund. Why is there no mention of it or its overseas donors? 2A00:23C6:F680:2C01:217B:F5B1:2653:CD8A (talk) 18:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He flew to Scotland to "keep Britain out of the war"? But it had already been at war with Germany for two years. Did the writer mean to keep the USSR or the US out of the war? 23.248.5.75 (talk) 15:51, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have access to the source book locally any more so I will bring it in on inter-library loan. This could take several weeks. — Diannaa (talk) 01:00, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot help with either the precise wording, nor the precise meaning, but point out that this is the prosecution, rather than WP's argument. "The prosecution's case against Hess was presented by Mervyn Griffith-Jones … … He pointed out that the timing of Hess's trip to Scotland, only six weeks before the German invasion of the Soviet Union, could only be viewed as an attempt by Hess to keep the British out of the war." Whether his intended meaning is to keep Britain out of support in THAT war, (ie the Eastern front) or to TAKE Britain out of the war I cannot say.Pincrete (talk) 04:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
