Oddly, every googel article refers to Hess negatively. Had Rommel been in control at Normandy on D-day, Omaha, and possibly the rest would have been very different.
Yep. They pulled him back to Berlin and then he was dead.
I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure he commanded the Western Army Group until he was forced to kill himself.
That was a huge mistake.
Everything collapsed around his bad commands. He was to leave during the invasion and due to his reputation they promised him a state funeral and no bad news. Hitler did this. But lost his best General. Such a hushed and brutal move. Everything went downhill afterwards.
