What are going to be the effects of Deputy Fuhrer Hess not taking his mysterious flight to Scotland in early 1941? Perhaps he is not duped into thinking he could broke peace with Britain - doesn't matter why, just that he does not depart Germany.

How would him remaining as Deputy Fuhrer affect the remainder of the war? I have read that Hess was seen as the moderating influence of the Nazi party, and also that he was the most pragmatic of the senior Nazi leaders. He also had a keen interest in foreign policy and he even introduced Hitler to Haushofer who developed the theory of lebensraum. Would a more pragmatic Hess convince Hitler not to declare war on the US in December '41?

Thank you for your input.
