When the primary studies –just as many accommodated Germans did with their
children– both were interned in the Evangelische Paedagogium of Godesberg-Am-Rheim,
city which was at ten km. from Bonn.
When they were sixteen years old, that’s to say in 1910, they separated to follow
different carreers. Dad had enrroled in the Polytechnic Institute of Berlin in the carreer of
Industrial Engineering. Rudolph Hess travels to Switzerland, to the Ecole Superieure du
Commerce in Neuchatel, by imposition of his father, a rich exporter from Alexandria, who
desired to initiate the young man in the world of the commerce. The intention of Rudolph was,
as far as possible, study the Doctorate in mathematics.
The war of 1914 ruins all his plans. Dad is claimed by my family to Cairo, where he
returns when the conflict breaks forth and stays there definitively because as he takes charge of
the Engenho could not conclude his studies anymore.
Rudolph Hess, who just remained one year in Switzerland, was now in Hamburg
perfecting himself in External Commerce and he didn’t hesitate to enlist in the First Regiment
of Infantry of Bavaria. He was wounded two times, in 1916 and 1917, receiving the Iron Cross
for acts of heroism. In 1918 he enrols in the recently formed Imperial Body of the Air, being
instituted as qualified pilot, but without intervening in air combats because in 1918 the
armistice is signed and he is demobilized.
He returns to Egypt carrier of double sadness: Germany defeated was ripped to pieces by
the Treaty of Versailles and his parents have died during the war. The familiar bussines are
attended by his brothers, the older Alfred, who is Accountant and a married sister.
He doesn’t want take care of the commerce and thus makes it known: he thinks to go
back to Germany to study, not mathematics anymore, but History or Philosophy.
And dedicate the time that he passes in Egypt to search for answers to such great
misfortune. Answers that only the Initiates in the great Islamic or Gnostic sects can give, and
from which Alexandria in particular and Egypt are fertile seedbed.
But I’ll leave the narration of the Esoteric Current for another day, in which Rudolph
Hess was going to ingress in those days of 1919, in Egypt, that would take him beside Adolf
Hitler in 1920 and to England in 1941. I’ll continue with the chronological development of the
main facts that interest to the history and, then, we’ll analyse these things.
It seems that Uncle Kurt was, a precise narrator, who knew what he wanted to say and
he didn’t move away from it. I realized that many days would pass until he could complete his
memories and this perspective rejoiced me.
