Later, dude.
The best of a bad lot. Goering contributed materially to the Allied victory thru his bureaucratic determination to stay on top of the heap and his incompetence while there.
It's a good thing the Luftwaffe didn't have a competent commander in chief, especially during the Battle of Britain.
you know, when i think of nazi germany, im simply astounded at the confluence of criminal personalities that all converged. or is it that when free wealth is available, these types simply find the road? digesting new data, im a little surprised that it always points to hitlers underlings as the catalysts for the holocaust, maybe i shouldnt be surprised but i am none the less. one more point, this could happen again so very easily, it makes the head spin. our words should be NEVER AGAIN.
I'm just glad the International Criminal court didn't try them. Too many would have escaped justice.
An interesting part left out of this article was the assistance in committing suicide from an American Captain assigned as one of his guards. The Captain snuck the suicide pill into Goering's cell.
I've heard that as well. Has that been confirmed or is it still just a theory?
"He didn't suffer nearly enough."
Hold on there General!
He and 15000 other Nazis were very successfully prosecuted.
The big question is what is preventing the prosecution of the FIRST Communist Genocidal heathen - you know, one of the thousands that are currently living on nice retirement checks in the US, Canada, etc.
After all, they did kill 100 million in the last century.
You can call him 'Meyer'.
Goering was a homosexual pedophile...
True but he should have at least been strangled to death.
Many Germans were doing that from 1940 on. What an idiot.
It's confirmed. I believe the officer in question admitted his complicity. It's been a while since I read that book.
It seems the only likely scenario considering what precautions the Allies were taking to prevent the prisoners from taking their own lives.
Some-how I'm SURE this will also be "Bush's Fault!!" Besides driving the "hurricaine machine" into New Orleans, it is obvious that he is now in possession of a "Time Machine" and has gone back in time to assassinate a foreign political figure, surely an impeachable offense!! (sarcasm off!!)
Being one of the inner clique that brought Hitler to power, Goering fully deserved the gallows death he cheated.
A slow day in history I guess.
you bring up an interesting topic. i sincerely think that people of this caliber usually have sexual issues. wasnt the night of the long knives used to get rid of some homosexuals? most democratic names that are familiar have to be sexually dysfunctional too. imo
Not mentioned in the article was his status as a fighter ace in WWI:
