He was taken prisoner and eventually convicted of crimes against peace. He was still serving his life sentence at the time of his suicide in 1987.

Peace in 1940 made a good deal of sense, and Germany was offering a good deal. Churchill, then as now bloodthirsty and wanting nothing but war, would not have it. Allying to destroy the real threat to Europe, the USSR, was the right move for both sides. Germany's real crime was shaking itself free of the control of the banks of the City of London(different from London the city). Remember: all wars are bankers' wars. That's why he was held and never allowed to communicate, nobody must know about the offer because it would make too much sense and the history books would have to be rewritten. Even today we're not allowed to know what Hess said.

As much you’re correct about Heydrich’s, the Reichsprotektor actually had a different flag. And the only time the Heydrich’s flag was hung at occasions like the Opera, was so that one could know where the Reichsprotektor’s box was. If you go back to early photographs of Heydrich, you never saw the flag until he became Reichsprotektor. Also Kaltenbrunner’s was actually a modification of Himmler’s. By the time he was appointed Head of RSHA in 1943, he (Kaltenbrunner) was promised by Himmler that he would be released of the duties just before the war’s end. He never cared much for the position because he didn’t want it to begin with.
