Hess enlisted in the 7th Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment as an infantryman at the outbreak of World War I. He was wounded several times over the course of the war, and won the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross Iron Cross], second class, in 1915. Shortly before the war ended, Hess enrolled to train as an aviator, but he saw no combat in this role. He left the armed forces in December 1918 with the rank of ''Leutnant der Reserve''.

In autumn 1919 Hess enrolled in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Munich University of Munich], where he studied [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopolitics geopolitics] under [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Haushofer Karl Haushofer], a proponent of the concept of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensraum Lebensraum]'' ("living space"), which later became one of the pillars of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party Nazi Party] (National Socialist German Workers Party; NSDAP) ideology. Hess joined the NSDAP on 1 July 1920, and was at Hitler's side on 8 November 1923 for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch Beer Hall Putsch], a failed Nazi attempt to seize control of the government of Germany. Whilst serving time in jail for this attempted coup, Hess helped Hitler write his opus, ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Kampf Mein Kampf]'', which became a foundation of the political platform of the NSDAP.

~~{{Stub}}~~

After the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Seizure_of_Power Nazi Seizure of Power] in 1933, Hess was appointed Deputy Führer of the NSDAP and received a post in Hitler's cabinet. In addition to appearing on Hitler's behalf at speaking engagements and rallies, Hess signed into law much of the legislation, including the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws Nuremberg Laws] of 1935, that stripped the Jews of Germany of their rights in the lead-up to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust the Holocaust].

Hess continued to be interested in aviation, learning to fly the more advanced aircraft that were coming into development at the start of World War II. On 10 May 1941 he undertook a solo flight to Scotland, where he hoped to arrange peace talks with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Douglas-Hamilton,_14th_Duke_of_Hamilton Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 14th Duke of Hamilton], whom he believed was prominent in opposition to the British government. Hess was immediately arrested on his arrival and was held in British custody until the end of the war, when he was returned to Germany to stand trial in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Trials Nuremberg Trials] of major war criminals in 1946. Throughout much of the trial, he claimed to be suffering from amnesia, but later admitted this was a ruse. Hess was convicted of crimes against peace and conspiracy with other German leaders to commit crimes and was transferred to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandau_Prison Spandau Prison] in 1947, where he served a life sentence. Repeated attempts by family members and prominent politicians to win him early release were blocked by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union Soviet Union], and he committed suicide, still in custody in Spandau, in 1987 at the age of 93.
