The fact that, again, Hitler's second in command would do this seems honestly, though, golden in its own right (as far as propaganda value is concerned, anyway).

Maybe...or maybe a way to get rid of a man who symbolically was second to Hitler.
Party a symbol of Nazi leadership.
Even while put away in prison he remained ideological leader for Nazis.
Hess wasn't general or soldier he was spiritual leader and Hitler's puppy-sort of.
He supposedly was very fanatical person so just think what celebrity figure he could had been if set free.
You can say that he paid political price ... so what.
