Nazi Table Ware soup bowl 1941 rudolf Hess? There is a story with this bowl

 

Hi

Rudolf Hess died on 17 Aug 1987 and by the time I arrived in Berlin in early September, Spandau Prison had already been completely demolished.

Legend has it that the speed of the demolition was down to fears neo nazis would try and steal a brick and use it as a shrine. So all the rubble was either buried in a nearby forest or dumped overboard in the Baltic sea.

At the time, the Russians had four 'official' reasons for being in West Berlin. Guarding Spandau Prison (on a rota basis with the other three occupying countries), the Berlin Air Safety Center (BASC), manning the Russian War Memorial and the Soviet Military Mission in Berlin (SOXMIS). So the Brits were very keen to get the largest of the four dets out of their sector.

The site was turned into a large NAAFI supermarket complex and BFBS had a competition for the best name.

It was eventually officially named the Britannia Centre, but was always known by everyone as Hesscos.

 

My grandad a WO in the RAF took the clock out of Hess's plane and cut his hand getting it out, wish we still had the clock.

BBC iPlayer - Nuremberg: The Nazis on Trial - Rudolf Hess

After his bizarre flight to Scotland in 1941 to offer peace to Britain, Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess, was declared insane by the Fuhrer.
At Nuremberg, Hess's fitness for trial was at the centre of his case, as he claimed not to remember his Nazi past and was seemingly suffering from paranoid delusions
