Hess and the Penguins: The Holocaust, Antarctica and the Strange Case of Rudolf Hess

Rate this book
Pursuing his investigations of WWII machinations, secret international agreements, breakaway civilizations and hidden wars in Antarctica, author and researcher Joseph P. Farrell examines the continuing mystery of Rudolf Hess, his sudden flight to Scotland, his supposed imprisonment at Spandau Prison in Berlin and how his flight affected affairs in Europe, Israel, Antarctica and elsewhere. Farrell looks at Hess' mission to make peace with Britain and get rid of Hitler–even a plot to fly Hitler to Britain for capture! How much did Gaoring and Hitler know of Rudolf Hess' subversive plot, and what happened to Hess? Why was a doppleganger put in Spandau Prison and then "suicided"? Did the British use an early form of mind control on Hess' double? John Foster Dulles of the OSS and CIA suspected as much. Farrell also uncovers the strange death of Admiral Richard Byrd's son in 1988, about the same time of the death of Hess. What was Hess' connection to Antarctica? It is Farrell at his best–uncovering the special operations and still-secret activities of WWII and the breakaway civilization.

This is an interesting take on the Hess episode in WW2 history. I found the title misleading as the Penguins/Antarctica part is very slim in the book. I was very disappointed that there wasn't more work done in that area. Overall, Dr. Farrell is a good writer and has done a thorough job on the "Hess in Britain" part of the book.

One of his shorter works, even with the "padding" of the Antarctica information (which doesn't really belong here).

Farrell investigates the "Hess Mess" (as he calls it), using Picknett, Prince, and Prior's Double Standards: the Rudolph Hess Cover-Up for the most part and unfolds a long-planned conspiracy for peace between England and Nazi Germany ... after Churchill and Hitler had both been removed from power.

One of his conclusions is a bit chilling: That someone in the English government actively worked against preventing the Holocaust. (Farrell should have spent some more time, maybe 50 pages or so, investigating who.) Farrell also provides a quote which involves killing "six million" ... from before WWI! (No, that is not a typo.) Seeing as there was a British eugenics "society", and the idea of a concentration camp was also proposed by a Brit, it seems this would be a logical place to continue research.

Not as crazy as it looks. The actual theories proposed by the author are quite plausible and while he acknowledges the more far reaching ideas he mainly focuses on what is backed up by at least circumstantial evidence. I ordered three more books on the Hess case while reading this. One by Lt. Col. Eugene Bird (U.S. Commandant of Spandau Prison), one by Hess' wife, and one by his nurse. I already had one by Wolf his son. Regardless of what is true about Hess it was never disclosed to the public, his story is interesting and worthy of review.

Joseph P. Farrell is a great revisionist historian that solves the un-solvable.
German WW2 history and the financial and corporate skullduggery of humanity has great light shed upon them, our militaries and their shady secrets as well.
A triumph.
I have incorporated his work on Rudolph Hess into any new novel in production. "Lion, Tiger, Bear."

One of the biggest political mysteries of the last century indeed. The book is interesting from beginning to end. Very recommended, a J.P.F. classic...
