It was reported that Hess took an illegal flight to Scotland in May 1941. This report was the reason that the editor of the publication, that was published by Fredric Warburg, stopped serving Hitler in 1941.
 It fell to him to report Hess's illegal May 1941 flight to Scotland to Hitler and his recollections and notes have been the subject of debate by historians. 
 Appointed Deputy Fhrer to Adolf Hitler in 1933, he served in this position until 1941, when he flew solo to Scotland in an attempt to negotiate peace with the United Kingdom during World War II. 
 He was taken prisoner and eventually was convicted of crimes against peace, serving a life sentence until his suicide. 
 The book was edited by Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess. 
 Other notable publications included "The Third Eye" by Lobsang Rampa, Pierre Boulle's "The Bridge over the River Kwai", Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and William Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich".
