Hess and the Soviets

[Hagen]

If Hess was in English custody before Germany attacked the Soviet Union, why were the Soviets so dead set against the release of Hess for all those years?

[Ingsoc]

He try to make peace with Britain, if his plan would have worked it's would be a disaster for the USSR.

[Helmut Von Moltke]

I remember I read Peter Padfield's biography of Hess last year. In it, there was a conspiracy theory that Hess was a Soviet secret agent, or that it had been a Soviet double, etc etc. So that only adds fuel to the conspiracy fire...

A long time ago I read a book also on Hess. It was by a doctor who examined Hess in Spandau prison, he claimed it couldn't be Hess because Hess suffered a gun shot wound to the chest in WW1 and when examined at Spandau there was supposedly no evidence of such a wound. Does anyone know of this book?
