Twelve years there was the German national-socialist state, and one of the leaders of Hitler's government, by his own admission, they have a whole millennium.His name - Hermann Goering.
Personality controversial, on the one hand, an aristocrat and scholar, a highly educated officer, hero pilot, on the other - a ruthless murderer and drug addict, steeped in luxury.This was the man whom Hitler called his closest assistant.
in World War Hermann Göring became an infantryman in the post adjutant.When he was sick with arthritis, came to visit a friend and offered to enroll in aviation, it is a long time without thinking, I agreed.
Despite numerous postwar publications give an idea of the future Minister of aviation and chief forester of the Reich as a cowardly braggart appear to pilot and commander, he was very good.
With the future German Chancellor Hermann Goering, met for the first time in 1922, he was fascinated by his eloquence and his life forever linked with National Socialism.The following year, on November 9, Hitler announced the overthrow of the government of Bavaria and tried to carry out a government coup.Riot, later called Beer Hall Putsch, was suppressed.Retired pilot wounded, he was saved by a Herr Ballin, a Jew, for which fifteen years and he received life as a gift.Hermann Goering knew how to be grateful.
At the same time, getting rid of the pain, he began to take morphine and became a drug addict.
After Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, the life of this war veteran turned into a long continuous festival.Hermann Goering did not know the measure of anything, he invented himself styles of uniforms, drank fine wines and brandies, lived in his own castle, the benefit funds allow.Minister of Aviation became a wealthy man, the owner of the entire industrial empire consisting of businesses confiscated from the Jews.That those years he recalled as a thousand years.
, however, and actually he did not forget.German pilots received excellent training and first-class aircraft, the Luftwaffe grew by leaps and bounds (both quantitatively and qualitatively).Hermann Goering himself, along with other pilots was trained in the Soviet Union, in the Lipetsk flight school.
But everything comes to an end.Soviet aircraft raids on Berlin in August 1941 and the Allied bombing campaign put a big question mark on the promises Reich Aviation that no bomb ...
Events Second World widely known.Those Germans, who was thinking something in the strategy, understood as early as August 41 th, that victory will not be a blitzkrieg failed, and a protracted confrontation with the Soviet Union, Germany is not ready, not those resources.But Goering was behind the Fuhrer to the last, although not really been able to anything.However, before committing suicide he expelled him from the party and ordered the arrest.In the confusion associated with the end of the war, Goering's Luftwaffe pilots guard who let him go, and on May 8 American sergeant already filled standard form POW: "Name - Hermann Goering ...", and then fed to the former Reich soldier's kitchen.
At the Nuremberg trials Hermann Goering actively defended in the spirit of "Who are the judges?".He accused the United States of racism and totalitarianism in the Soviet Union, and this would be true if you do not take into account the identity of the speaker.After this his "swan song" war criminal number 2 poisoned by avoiding a shameful death on the gallows.As it happened, explained significantly until no one could.
