13th May 1941

An alert lasting 1/2 an hour at 3.30 I kept as quiet as a mouse intending not to wake the others. This morning I find they both heard it and kept quiet on my account. Mrs Truman banged on fence early this morning to tell us astonishing news that Rudolph Hess's deputy had landed in Glasgow by parachute on Saturday! It was given out over the radio.
