I think of all the Nazi leadership it’s safe too say Goring was one of the most fascinating individuals amongst them. It goes without saying he was a big personality who seemed to have the ability to impress and win people over. Many of the Nazi leadership seemed like strange people with no personality but you hear of testimonials from those who met Goring and they all said he was a personable person, a high ranking individual who would even make fun of himself. That big guy in the room who commands everyone’s attention not through fear and intimidation but through pure personality. He certainly came across as the centre of attention.

Maybe, but it's more likely that he didn't have a personal hatred towards Jews in general. They even said he viewed them like anyone else, just more clever. He enjoyed their art. If he were calling the shots, I don't think the genocide of Jews would have been a thing. Reeducation at most. With that said, he also didn't seem to care if Jews were persecuted as long as he was able to achieve his goals of personal enrichment and status building.

@@MarvoloSalazar personally I think Germany and the USSR still go to war, after Stalin helps Mao take out the nationalists. In the meantime Germany becomes more or less like Spain, fascist but ostensibly neutral for all intents and purposes. Russia and China invade Poland which in turn prompts the allies to declare war. Germany ends up working with the allies out of self preservation, Italy stays neutral but provides aid for the Germans (Mussolini and Goering were actually friends, whereas Mussolini and Hitler were allies of convenience). Japan invades Russia since they can't take over China, which stretches their military to the brink. The US likely supplies the Japanese with oil because screw communism or something like that. No Pearl Harbor, no direct intervention from the US. However proxy support to the Allies is likely. Japan gets overrun by the Chinese and Russians forcing a retreat. And we still end up with a divided Europe between East and West. America still develops the bomb but since we aren't technically at war with anyone it sits in a warehouse somewhere in the desert. Eventually Von Braun develops the V2 and Moscow gets shelled back to the stone age. WW2 was inevitable between Russia and Germany. It was just a matter of when and who the other players would be.

I feel, had he not been injured as he was during WW1, he might well have stood up to Hitler. I get a feeling that at the core he was a man with confidence, and he even showed it at times as WW2 went south, but the addiction to morphine and years of somewhat playing second-fiddle, in a sense, took the edge he had off and left him in a state where he felt it better to "go with the flow" for the most part, while still, in his personal life, generally using his own judgement. A very complicated man. Not innocent by any means but, maybe, more of in a "bad situation" than other Nazi leaders, one he didn't realize was going to end poorly for him until it was too late. The lesser of two evils is still evil... or something to that extent.

In other words I have heard a few details that I have not been knowledgeable about, or I have forgotten. Thanks

Wow! Interesting history!

A brilliant documentary as ever from People Profiles

Loved that comment towards the end, approximately, "and this is where it gets really sketchy,”

Göring was a clown, and a joker on the outside, but underneath he was cold and calculating. He was very practical, and was going to use every talent he had, like schmoozing, to get everything he wanted. I think it goes back to WWI, when he also got what he wanted. Like a psychopath, he could be very charming and delightful, even taking jokes at himself quite well; but below the surface he was a calculating realist who definitely knew the score. And if you were playing with Hermann Göring, and thought it was just a game, your goose was cooked.

He spent time in a madhouse in Sweden in the 20ies.

I would have not been surprised to see Göring eventually move against Hitler, and I would not have been surprised if he would have tried had the war been longer in doubt. The Nazi leadership were filled with constant infighting. Rohm lost his fight against Göring, Hitler, and Himmler. Goring lost a fight against Himmler, but Hess lost a critical battle to Göring and then failed to win over the British. Göring had the foresight in the end to see that he was losing to an alliance of Himmler and Goebbels as the was passed into the finale, and that was when he fled Germany to Hitler's fury. I believe that Göring could be described as a pragmatic idealist. He loved ideals such as nationalism and art, but he was equally pragmatic knowing that it was not going to be possible to completely destroy the Jews and that Hitler was taking the war into worse territory every moment. Thus he creates the Final Solution while being unable or unwilling to hear the details discussed. He can escape Germany before Hitler's death, be cheerfully arrested, but always retain a final escape strategy if he needs it. In the end, he shares the fate with his equally mysterious master and Goebbels, burned and dropped in an unmarked grave.

And his bass was also superb.

There are many individuals, past and present, in all cultures like Hermann Goering. And they are difficult to categorize and define. A person can be very courageous in battle, but perhaps not because of any feeling of patriotism but because of personal lust for glory. Yes, there are people who will actually play with death over fame as Goering did in his early days. Or it simply may be a form of excitement. These individuals can also be selfish and eccentric. I have personally known men in my own family who were combat veterans and saw heavy combat. One would assume them to be quite macho and "manly" and they were...outwardly. Ironically, they were also quite subservient (simpish?) to the women in their lives. Human nature is quite complex and bizarre.

He was definitely not a coward. Maybe many other things....but never a coward.

He has a intimidating look but also had soft when it comes to Art. I like took aviation in his own hand . Also I thought the secret police was fantastic

This will bake your noddle. Imagine if Richthofen had survived and commanded the luftwaffe...

As we can see the history is written by the winners !

At 35:50 time mark you say Göring was promoted to Reichsmarshall on the 4th February 1938 but that was the date he was promoted to Generalfeldmarshall. I think he was promoted to Reichsmarshall on the 19th July 1940

Stauffenberg, Beck, Witzleben and the rest of the gang of conspiratorial would-be assassins were scarcely heroes. They were ambitious officers who enjoyed the war quite as much as Hitler did so long as Germany was winning. They gladly accepted all the promotions and decorations until they realized that the tide had turned and the Third Reich was doomed. Killing Hitler would have made no difference to the outcome since the allies had already proclaimed that they would not negotiate but would accept nothing less than unconditional surrender. These traitors betrayed their sworn oath in a feeble attempt to save their own worthless hides from future retribution. The treasonous actions they committed deserve not respect but rather contempt.

It would seem that anyone who possesses the ability to be ruthless & calculating knows how to rise to power. Despite Goring being an egomaniac, perhaps his morphine addiction made him less able to deal & cope with severe stress. Some recounts claim that he told Hitler to invade Spain & Portugal first before attempting to invade the U.K. He knew the limitations of the Luftwaffe for the most part and bringing reasonable arguments against Hitler for not wanting to invade Russia were sound. IMO

I think took advantage of a perfect situation which was WW2. He began a spoiled child again.

He had good points..

He "enjoyed his solitary nights alone"? Was he all by himself then? Sequestered? Unaccompanied by others?
