TWO SUGGESTIONS "So the question arises: Why did Herr Hess By to Britain?" continued Mr. Steed. "Two suggestions have been put for- ward-the first was that Herr Hess knew that he had become a candidate for the Gestapo; and that he thought it better to be a prisoner in Britain than to be a dead gangster in Ger- many.
