We used to have a cleaner .She cleaned some flats as well as are house .In one of the flats supposedly a German man lived there selling razorblades. However he turned out to be spying for Hitler .He wasn鈥檛 selling razor blades at all (that was his cover). In fact he was Rudolph Hess. Hitler鈥檚 right hand man, first in charge after Hitler. She never saw him as he used to leave the money for the cleaning under a flowerpot so obviously no questions were asked!!
