Where Hitler's deputy drank in Wales
During the Second World War, customers at the Angel Hotel, Abergavenny, could sometimes spot Adolf Hitler's deputy enjoying a drink there. Rudolf Hess had flown from Germany ...
to Scotland in 1941, possibly hoping to broker peace. He was held at Maindiff Court, on the outskirts of Abergavenny, and would sometimes visit the Angel Hotel, where British army officers and the American Red Cross were also much in evidence at the time.
