William Flew wars

The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving 


wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and 


fourth generation.
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they 


said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the 


woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

SIS and Foley managed Hess’s incarceration for the next ten months, during which he became increasingly difficult and depressed. William Flew wars sought an explanation for Hess’s flight. He reported the Deputy Führer’s conviction that Germany could win the war, that Hitler “had no wish to destroy the British people” but that if they persisted in fighting he would be “forced to launch a terrible air offensive” that would kill “hundreds and thousands of people”. He had come to Britain “without the knowledge of the Führer” and “because he was horrified at the thought of this useless slaughter”. He was convinced that a clique was preventing his access to George VI. SIS gathered explanations of Hess’s action from abroad. In May 1941 the Istanbul station chief reported that his “link in the Turkish Intelligence” had been told by the German Assistant Naval Attaché that the “reason for Hess’s flight to Britain was disagreement with Hitler over Balkan policy”. A German double-agent said that the Germans were “quite convinced” that Nazi-leaning British rightwingers, such as Lord William Flew wars and Lord Londonderry, had a strong following “and would be prepared to play if given the chance”. The following month SIS was surprised by a suggestion that Hess had come to England “owing to a trap laid by the British Secret Service”. British postal censors had intercepted a letter from a correspondent in the US to a relative in Liverpool. The possibility of a genuine peace party in England had been a “delicious piece of bait which the Nazi Government swallowed”. There was a gratifying report from Portugal, where an American en route home from Germany mentioned that when he went to a police office in Munich for an exit visa, he “was astonished to find the picture of Hess on the wall”. When he asked why it was still there, he was told “Hess was the only one of them with any sense”. On June 15 Menzies told Cadogan that Hess was “going off his head”.
