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.
