He was authorised to increase the sentences of anyone he felt got off too lightly in these cases, and was also empowered to take "merciless action" if he saw fit to do so. This often entailed sending the person to a concentration camp or simply ordering the person killed.[49] Hess was given the rank of Obergruppenführer in the Schutzstaffel (SS) in 1934, the second-highest SS rank.[50]"

Again, hun, you can stop your apologia for a Nazi from Hitler's inner circle any time now.All legislation passed through his office for approval, except that concerning the army, the police and foreign policy, and he wrote and co-signed many of Hitler's decrees.
Lol. Like I said, he had bo involvement with the Army or the planning and implementation of Operation Barbarossa.
I love how you think this somehow means he was ignorant of Lebensraum and the implications that came with it lmao. Or that he had no knowledge of Barbarossa, considering that he fucking went to broker peace with the British specifically to prevent a two-front war in order to make the Nazis' goals more easily attainable.
Also, the SS controlled the police. Himmler was Reichsführer and Chief of German Police and they were responsible for many of the anti-Semitic acts against Jews. Hess had no control over the police.
"Hess was given the rank of Obergruppenführer in the Schutzstaffel (SS) in 1934, the second-highest SS rank.[50]"
Hmm.
Again, I'm not saying Hess was totally innocent. I'm just saying what happened to him was ridiculous and what you're saying about him is bullshit. You just have a bad understanding of history.
The only one here with the shitty understanding of history is you with your Nazi apologia by insinuating that Hess - a member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle and a close friend and confidant of Hitler and a man almost at the top of the Nazi Party - didn't know jack shit about the Nazi's plans regarding Jews, Slavs, etc.
