Its definantly about Rudolf Hess, and for the most part i believe thebodiesobtained has it right. However Hess schooled Hitler in etiquette, he introduced him into the culture, and the middle/upper-class circles they would need to win over if they were to achieve power. Ian was impressed with the all the power and influence Hitler had over the Germans. This makes the first two stanzas have a different interpretation, but i still think the you were right about the last stanza. Also, Hess killed himself at age 93 while still imprisoned.
