Why did Rudolf Hess personally fly to Britain to negotiate a peace?
What did he have to offer that he thought was work personally making the journey?
Why didn't Britain accept the peace offer knowing they are irrelevant in the war?

He didn't fly to Britain to talk peace, he visited a doctor to help with his eyebrows.

Churchill was hawkish as fuck. It's honestly kinda sad that Hitler gave him justification constantly

How does that even make sense to you?

He thought he could reason with bloodthirsty anglo war criminals.
He fell for the Anglo-SAXON meme despite it being outdated since 1066.
Why did the british murder him after so many years?
Seriously the fuck did he think would happen?
>"ah you have a good point there Rudolf, ill sign the peace agreement and we'll get you on a plane back home as soon as possible so you can meet up with Hitler and he can personally reward you for single handedly ending the war. can I get you anything?"

He was literally insane. I thought this was common knowledge.

The only chance Germany had of winning was getting Britain out of the war so he took a shot

The Blitz had just failed so this was just about Germany's only chance of knocking Britain out.
Because fighting a two front war was clearly a stupid idea.
