I was born April 26, 1894 in Alexandria, Egypt as the eldest son of Fritz H. Hess. I was educated by private tutors because my father who was a Bavarian Lutheran importer/exporter, thought the school in our little German community was not strict enough. My mother, Klara Münch, was of Greek descent unlike my father. My family and I moved back to Germany in 1908 where I was enrolled in boarding school. Although I expressed interest in being an astrologer, my father convinced me to study business in Switzerland. At the onset of World War I, I enlisted in the 7th Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment. I became an infantryman and was awarded the Iron Cross, second class. I transferred to the Imperial Air Corps (after being rejected once), took aeronautical training and served in an operational squadron at the rank of lieutenant.After the war I went to Munich and joined the Thule Society, assisting the Freikorps in their struggle against Communism. I then enrolled in the University of Munich where I studied political science, history, economics, and geopolitics under Professor Karl Haushofer. After hearing Hitler speak in May 1920, I became completely devoted to his leadership. For commanding an SA battalion during the Beer Hall Putsch, I served seven and a half months in Landsberg prison. Acting as Hitler's private secretary, I edited Hitler's book Mein Kampf and eventually rose to deputy party leader and third in leadership of Germany, after Hitler and Hermann Göring.If you wanna read more about me then refer to my blog.
