"Hermann Wilhelm Göring (or Goering;[a] German pronunciation: [ø??????] ( listen); 12 January 1893 ? 15 October 1946), was a German politician, military leader, and leading member of the Nazi Party (NSDAP). A veteran of World War I as an ace fighter pilot, he was a recipient of the coveted Pour le Mérite, also known as the "Blue Max". He was the last commander of Jagdgeschwader 1, the fighter wing once led by Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron". A member of the NSDAP from its early days, Göring was wounded in 1923 during the failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch. He became permanently addicted to morphine after being treated with the drug for his injuries. He founded the Gestapo in 1933. Göring was appointed commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe (air force) in 1935, a position he held until the final days of World War II. By 1940 he was at the peak of his power and influence; as minister in charge of the Four Year Plan, he was responsible for much of the functioning of the German economy in the build-up to World War II. Adolf Hitler promoted him to the rank of Reichsmarschall, a rank senior to all other Wehrmacht commanders, and in 1941 Hitler designated him as his successor and deputy in all his offices. Göring's standing with Hitler was greatly reduced by 1942, with the Luftwaffe unable to fulfill its commitments and the German war effort stumbling on both fronts. Göring largely withdrew from the military and political scene and focused on the acquisition of property and artwork, much of which was confiscated from Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Informed on 22 April 1945 that Hitler intended to commit suicide, Göring sent a telegram to Hitler asking to assume control of the Reich. Hitler then removed Göring from all his positions, expelled him from the party, and ordered his arrest. After World War II, Göring was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials. He was sentenced to death by hanging, but committed suicide by ingesting cyanide the night before the sentence was to be carried out."--Wikipedia.… (meer)

A very interesting and somewhat sympathetic biography of Hermann Goering. (

robeik | Sep 6, 2021 |

Il secondo uomo per importanza nella Germania nazista dopo Adolf Hitler: Hermann Goering. La personalità più popolare tra i Tedeschi durante il regime hitleriano: Hermann Goering. L'alto ufficiale incaricato di 'trattare con gli Alleati dopo che Hitler si chiuse nel bunker di Berlino: ancora Goering. La figura di maggiore spicco al processo di Norimberga: sempre Goering. Maresciallo del reich, asso della aviazione nella prima guerra mondiale, unito a Hitler fin dagli albori del potere nazista, Hermann Goering entrò a far parte della storia in una delle epoche più terribili che si ricordino. In tempo ne ha fatto una macchietta, una pesante caricatura; si ricorda poco dell'uomo che era in realtà. Consigliere di Hitler, fautore del potenziamento delle forze aeree tedesche, subì le più dure critiche quando la macchina bellica nazista iniziò a perdere colpi, anche se tentò con tutte le sue forze di porre rimedio agli errori di Hitler e dei suoi generali. Nella sua vita intensa e per certi versi affascinante spiccano contraddizioni evidenti. Il grande esponente dell'antisemitismo fu influenzato in gioventù dal patrigno ebreo; amò la bellezza, le opere d'arte, i cibi e i vini più raffinati, la droga. Fedele a Hitler fino in fondo preferì suicidarsi piuttosto che farsi impiccare con gli altri illustri condannati di Norimberga. Leonard Mosley, autore di numerosi libri di storia contemporanea, ha conosciuto personalmente Hermann Goering e ha intervistato personaggi a lui molto vicini, riuscendo a creare così un'opera che non è soltanto un'esauriente, appassionante biografia del celebre maresciallo del reich, ma anche una chiara esposizione degli eventi che portarono Hitler e il nazionalsocialismo al potere, una eccellente sintesi della seconda guerra mondiale vista « dal di dentro » della caduta del terzo Reich.

We all like our villains to be mean, sniveling and despicable, tinged with evil, cowards and hand-rubbing, sneering hypocrites. Like the Nazi Goebbels or Mengele for example.

Field Marshal, Luftwaffe flying ace, Hermann Goering is more difficult to hate, and even harder to despise. Despite his luke-warm resistance to the extremism of Hitler, his greedy theft of art and his gross appetites – he had immense courage, great love for his wife, Baroness Carin von Kantzow of Sweden, and was, by all accounts, extremely likeable. Wounded three times in his career, the slow to heal wounds gave him both pain, and the treatment, as was nearly usual in those times, a morphine addiction. These are not excuses for the horror of the holocaust, and Mosley – a British journalist, historian, biographer and novelist - does not offer them up as such, but the author knew his subject personally and reveals all sides to Goering, including those to which he gives far from grudging admiration.

An intriguing but rather tragic figure, unable to resist – like so many others – the domination of Hitler, one feels from Mosley’s work that there was a wasted value and potential in Goering – that he could, in fact, been a positive influence if he had tried. He did use that skill during his trial in Nuremberg, as the highest ranking Nazi Goering tried to lead the other defendants towards a more honorable, if defiant, defense, and – having been denied the soldiers death of a firing squad – he persuaded his young American guard to bring him his confiscated brief-case and swallowed the hidden cyanide, cheating the hangman and dying, but strangely with a certain courage.

An excellent history and interestingly constructed biography.
