Hesse's Peace Mission Was Hitler's Idea

Hesse could have portrayed Hitler as the great man he believed him to be if he had said the peace mission was Hitler's idea. But he never did that, and together with all the other evidence, I think the official story is correct when it says that Hitler also didn't know about the flight. Winston Churchill later referred to it as an act of lunatic benevolence,. Hesse was engaged in some disordered thinking, so there may have been mental issues that were involved.
