The following excerpt comes from a contact with a person well known in Britain. I received this mail in 2005 whithout asking about WWII. Originally this thread was about George Formby and Lonnie Donegan.

"Talking about ending that bloody war: I was only watching a
programme on cable recently, when it reported that Hitler
made no less than five offers of peace, starting with the first
in October 1939, and not one of these was taken up by us
British.

The 60-year embargo, now having resulted in many formerly
secret documents being deemed *de-restricted*, has revealed
that Hitler was firmly behind Hess's ill-fated peace mission, and
that he had made positive contacts for an engineered peace,
with Lord Halifax, along with several members of the Royal
Household, and allegedly the Duke of Kent, who was later
mysteriously *accidentally* killed, when the aircraft he was
flying in, struck a Scottish mountain, and exploded with the
loss of all, except one, on board.

It was absolute madness that we two peoples should take up
arms against each other.

We had everything going for us, at the time, and Germany -
light years ahead of the world, in just about every aspect of
modern science and industry - would have been the ideal
partner, in our own Deutsche/Englische Europe.

If England and Germany had combined their efforts, together
they could have smashed the Bolshevicks and set up a
Democratic government in Russia...with what was left of the
slaughtered Romanovs as constitutional rulers.

As it was, England lost everything, the Russians increased their
sphere of influence all over Eastern Europe, and the Americans
barged in as usual, scooping up all the prizes."

I was a little bit astonished about attitude,
