Prince Csaba was the youngest son of Attila the Hun. Not only will he return, riding down from the stars, whenever his Hungarian descendants are in danger but he has reportedly already done so several times at moments of great crisis. Image
Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossa didn’t really drown and get pickled while on Crusade. He’s half asleep under the Kyffhäuser mountains and when his beard grows around it or the ravens stop flying (I’ve heard both), he’ll wake up and lead the Germans to victory once more. Image
Emperor Constantine XI wasn’t killed when Constantinople fell, he was turned to marble by an Angel and hidden away under the golden gate. When God decides, the angel will revive him to retake the city, expel the Turks and live forever. Image
King Sebastián of Portugal didn’t really die at the Battle of Alcácer Quibir in Morocco. He survived and will return one day, in Portugal’s hour of greatest peril, to lead his people to greatness and build the fifth Portuguese empire. Image

Having looked at the second man at the top, next is the third. As he was out of sight and out of mind for most of the war, he doesn’t always get much attention. Here is a look (in brief bits) at the life of Deputy Führer Rudolf Heß: 👇🏻 Image
Rudolf Walter Richard Heß was born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1894, the son of a wealthy businessman. His youth in North Africa left him with a lasting admiration for the British Empire. Highly educated & athletic, he joined the Imperial German Army in 1914 at the outbreak of war.👇🏻 Image
Heß saw plenty of action throughout the conflict, serving in such campaigns as the massive Verdun offensive & the conquest of Romania. He became an officer & trained to be a fighter pilot but the war ended before he saw action in the air. The war left him broke & unemployed. 👇🏻 Image
