Hitler’s Papers Reveal British Peace Feeler
(Rec. 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 3. Hitler’s secret papers reveal that “important British circles” conveyed a peace feeler to Hess’ intimate adviser, Dr. Albrecht Haushoffer, a month be* fore Hess flew to Scotland, says the Nuremberg correspondent of the Associated Press.
Haushoffer, 48 hours before Hess took off, wrote to Hitler fully admitting his own role and stating that a prominent Swiss International Red Cross official acted as intermediary. This 1400 word report, which is now in the possession of Allied intelligence officers, lists more than a dozen-names of "reasonable” Britons, mostly titled people, to whom Haushoffer believed in approach was possible.
