Property where MI6 held Nazi Rudolf Hess goes on sale for £15m

A UK mansion that has gone up for sale used to be the MI6 compound that housed the man second in line to Adolf Hitler at the start of the Second World War. The Daily Star reports that Mytchett Place in Surrey was found with microphone wires in the walls and also has a stunning staircase that Nazi Rudolf Hess threw himself down.

The mansion, recently used as a commercial space, is in need of complete renovation but comes with huge receptions, at least 11 acres, and marks itself as a strange historic landmark. Hess had convinced himself that Anglo-German relations could be tempered to crush the Soviet Union, and so flew to the UK in the hope of brokering a peace deal with Scottish peer the Duke of Hamilton.

Hitler subsequently stripped Hess of his medals and standing in the Nazi Party, declaring the second-in-line insane. Mytchett Place soon became the most secure prison in Britain and housed just one man, Hess, who spent his days in a luxury bedroom on the first floor of the house.
