About the book >.>.> The mischievous propagation of certain myths in connection with the fate of Rudolf Hess has prompted me to try to put the record straight with an account of my own experiences in Berlin as the last British Governor of Spandau Allied Prison. I must emphasise that this is a very personal view of the sub- ject and that the opinions and attitudes expressed are entirely my own and should not be taken as expressions of official government policy. The atmosphere in which the events in this book occurred has vanished for ever with the winds of change that blew away the Cold War. The prison site gave way to “The Britannia Centre a shop- ping and social services precinct for the British garrison whose days were numbered but the peripheral buildings have been beautifully restored as part of the same complex. I would like to express my gratitude to Mr Bernard Levin of The Times and Miss Catherine Field of the Observer for their most kind permission to reproduce extracts from certain articles and to the Special Investigation Branch (Royal Military Police) the Ullsneun Bildesdienst and After the Battle magazine for permission to repro- duce some of their photographs.
