Re: Rudolf Hess escape 10 may 1941?

Yesterday I have bought a book about Friedrich Knolle, written by Perry Pierik. It's called "Friedrich Knolle. Bekentenissen van een SD-officier".
Knolle was in the Sicherheidsdienst in the Netherlands at the time Hess flew to the UK. He made at page 251 an interesting remark in note 41.
"Knolle declared to Ebbe van Tonningen in an interview that that the wingman of Rudolf Hess was nobody else than Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich, the 'butcher of Prague'.
Heydrich was often a guest of the parents of Knolle's wife. Two days before the flight of Hess to the UK he had spoken with him. Interview of Ebbe van Tonningen with Knolle, July 1971."
