You take an oath to a man whom you know follows the laws of providence, which he obeys independently of the influence of earthly powers, who leads the German people rightly, and who will guide Germany’s fate. Through your oath you bind yourselves to a man who – that is our faith – was sent to us by higher powers. Do not seek Adolf Hitler with your mind. You will find him through the strength of your hearts! Rudolf Hess, The Oath to Adolf Hitler, 1934
I was permitted to work for many years of my life under the greatest son whom my people has brought forth in its thousand year history. Even if I could, I would not want to erase this period of time from my existence. I am happy to know that I have done my duty, to my people, my duty as a German, as a National Socialist, as a loyal follower of my Führer. I do not regret anything. If I were to begin all over again, I would act just as I have acted, even if I knew that in the end I should meet a fiery death at the stake. No matter what human beings may do, I shall some day stand before the judgment seat of the Eternal. I shall answer to Him, and I know He will judge me innocent. Rudolf Hess, last statement to Nuremberg trials 1946

‘I went into Hitler’s workroom with the former Reichsleiter Bormann. And this picture presented itself to us: Hitler was sitting on the left of the sofa with his face bent slightly forward and hanging down to the right. With the 7.65 he had shot himself in the right temple. The blood had run down on to the carpet; and from this pool of blood a splash had got on to the sofa. Eva Braun was sitting on his right. Eva Braun had drawn both her legs up on to the sofa and was sitting there with crampt lips so that immediately it became clear to us that she had taken cyanide. I took Hitler by his neck, behind me were two other officers, his bodyguard, and so we took Hitler’s body and proceeded with it into the park. In the park we laid the bodies together next to each other and poured the available petrol over them. In the Reich-Chancellery Park there was fire all around ... I threw the taper on to the bodies and in an instant the corpses were on light.’ The World at War: Nemesis 21/26 interview, ITV 1973
