Item description from seller

Harper & Row, Publishers, NY. On the night of May 10, 1941, a German parachutist landed in Scotland and made the astonishing announcement that he was none other than Rudolf Hess, Hitler's Deputy. In 1973, W.Hugh Thomas, a surgeon at the British Military Hospital in Berlin, made two routine examinations of prisoner #7, the sole occupant of Spandau Prison. Dr. Thomas's book makes a convincing case that the man who has been in Spandau prison for the past thirty-four years is not Rudolf Hess. The myth that the Spandau prisoner was not actually Hess was disproved in 2019. A study of DNA testing undertaken by Sherman McCall, formerly of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and Jan Cemper-Kiesslich of the University of Salzburg demonstrated a 99.99 per cent match between the prisoner's Y chromosome DNA markers and those of a living male Hess relative. Very good copy of the first edition in a good dust jacket. The dust jacket has some edge wear. 224 pages.
