Note, that this may only be a coincidence of names, but it is true that a certain Walter Hesse was employed at the end of world war 2 at the location where the Magenta UFO was thought to be stored (Sesto Calende, Italy).

Also, there is a story from 1950 in which it is stated that during the war a certain Walter Hesse ‘designed a “flying saucer” equipped with turbojets capable of imparting a strong rotary movement. At the end of the war he escaped from the secret laboratory, controlled by a group of SS, where he worked, taking with him all the documentation on the project. Subsequently he handed himself over to the Russians, who took him to a base to collaborate with other compatriots to continue the development of the disks, which Hesse, at the time sheltered in Sweden, defined as aircraft made by the Soviets.’
After some research, I find a resume of a Walter Hesse, a scientist, who was indeed employed by the Germans during WW2, became a POW, and went on to work at Soviet-controlled Leipzig in East Germany.

And so, who knows, but interesting.
