Interesting!

Entertainment and espionage intersect more often than we realize. Loved the Blackadder series though!

From the article:
"He was clearly valued by his superiors, and became one of the MI5 officers charged with interviewing Adolf Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess when he crash landed in a remote Scottish field in May 1941.

The bizarre solo flight, which Hess described as an attempt to negotiate peace with the United Kingdom but has never been fully explained, saw the leading Nazi taken into captivity for the rest of the war.

Decades later, by then a convicted war criminal and the final remaining inmate of the notorious Spandau Prison in Berlin, he hanged himself at the age of 93. "

These articles are a bit of a rabbit hole that you might enjoy regarding the peculiar incident of Rudolf Hess' crash landing

The Devil Rides Out (1968): A Cultic Crossroads of Satanic Spies - JaysAnalysis.com

By: Jay Dyer Spies Lie and Nazis Fly There seems to be no shortage of connections between British Intelligence writers and the occult, and while I’ve examined a good deal of Ian Fleming, one of the more overtly occultic writers we haven’t looked at is Dennis Wheatley. Wheatley was the son of a...

"The links become clear: It is Wheatley, Knight and Ian Fleming who would be the chief architects of the ruse to coopt Crowley for the purpose of luring Nazi Rudolph Hess to parachute into Scotland. Fleming biographer Andrew Lycett only mentions this briefly in passing, leaving out Crowley:

“At the same time he [Fleming] maintained contact with several other friends in the broad field of deception, including Ellic Howe, who had worked for the printer James Shand and now specialized in counterfeit German documents; Dennis Wheatley, an occasional dinner guest who worked for the London Controlling Section masterminding deception projects; and Louis de Wohl, and astrologer who was used by the NID to chart the exact moments when Hitler might be open to ruses and feints.” (Ian Fleming, pg. 134).

And Masters again:

“Ian Fleming, then in the Department of Naval Intelligence, was fascinated by Knight’s mysterious persona, and was to involve him in an extraordinary adventure whose components – The Link [a supposed pro-Hitler underground in the UK], Aleister Crowley and Hess – were to make an explosive mixture. Years later, when Fleming wrote the first of his James Bond books, he used an amalgam Knight and his own superior, Rear-Admiral John Godfrey, as the model for M, Bond’s boss.” (The Man Who Was M, pg. 157)

In fact, this curious episode of the tale of luring Hess through Crowley was apparently seeded in a predictive programming form (or the idea was nabbed therefrom) in Ian’s brother, Peter Fleming’s novel, The Flying Visit, penned soon before Hess’ flight. Fleming scholar Craig Cabell comments on this fantastical story:

But the big question is Have You Never Been Mellow? And let's not forget the heart wrenching " I Honestly Love You " which was rumored to be number one song that streethookers loved.
