In his post mortem photo he looks stoned out of his mind. A couple anecdotes: I live in Malmö, Sweden, where Göring lived for a while working as a freight pilot between Malmö and Germany. Last I heard the apartment where he used to live is still standing. I read an article where surviving neighbors were asked about him. They said he was a average neighbor, a man who kept to himself but polite to the people in the building. Which pretty much describes all Swedish neighbors. We're not the chattiest social folk. Also, several years ago I worked for a company that digitizes, among others, old photos, postcards of celebrities, royal houses of Europe, historical events for IBL Bildbyrån, a Swedish photo licensing company that licenses pictures to school books and others. And in one folder there was a photo of a typed report concerning Hermann Göring and one of his raids during WW1. I was in charge of scanning, saturation/sharpness editing and writing the metadata. I think they were lucky I could read old German fonts and knew some German and figured out what the photo was about, otherwise my directives were strict in what metadata words I could attach to the file. Knowing the significance of the photo I asked my supervisor if I could enter the Hermann Göring metadata on that flight raid military report. I was allowed and hopefully in the future if someone searches IBL's database with Göring's name they will stumble upon it and it could prove to be a great resource.

Jag har undrat länge om Göring hade något romantiskt eller sexuellt förhållande med någon malmöitisk kvinna under tiden han var i Malmö. Anledning är att min morbror, som är från Hässleholm med bor i Oxie och är gift med en infödd malmöitiska. Och både hon och deras son har vissa drag som är väldigt lika Görings. Jag jämförde ett fotografi av Göring taget under första världskriget med fotografier på både min kusin och hans mamma och likheterna var slående när man jämförde deras munnar, näsor och ögon. Jag har försökt hitta några som helst uppgifter om Görings tid i Malmö med någon form av information om han fick ihop det med någon och om det eventuellt skulle kunnat resultera i ett olegitimt barn. Tyvärr har jag inte hittat något...än i alla fall.

He worked in the dairy department that was in the very back of the store and would come to work drunk and also hide a bottle of whiskey in his dairy cooler. He would hit on any attractive female that happened to go back there. Sometimes he would hide back in the refrigerator and watch people through the milk shelves. Anyway he eventually came onto me at one point and I told him I was underage and he said "age isn't anything but a number and if there is grass on the field then play ball", I told my mom about it and she made me quit my job.

I can't seem to find it again, but I watched a documentary on WW2 that said that one of his biggest blunders was a campaign against a Russian town. They said that this town had a unique rocky geography that cause weird updrafts that made flying over the town difficult and the sudden drops in air pressure could cause a plane to crash if the pilot wasn't an expert. The town also had excellent anti air weapons. So attacking from the air was basically suicide, the town was a natural fortress and close enough to the Russian lines to get resupplied. They said the town also had *no strategic value **_whatsoever._* It was was a bad angle to attack Moscow from and the German's already had bases that were closer anyway. He spent countless lives and resources to take the town out because it irked him, and for no other reason.

There is a story about Goering in Speer's "Inside the Third Reich", that is so bizarre that I actually believe it happened. Speer said that in the later days of the War, when it was quite dangerous to venture out, Goering insisted that he come to his mansion. Goering said that he had an idea that could turn the entire War around. Speer was in charge of war production, armaments, etc. Speer said that Goering was still living in relative luxury, running his hand through a bucket of what appeared to be precious gems as he spoke. Goering said he knew that Speer was having trouble finding enough steel to make trains....so he made the brilliant suggestion that Speer use concrete, instead. Speer was floored. But haven't we all seen people trying to save their business or their existing way of life grasping at straws and in hard denial about impending reality?

In many of the pictures of the period one would have great difficulty telling a period correct WW 1 French plane apart from a WW 1 German plane due to the quality of the pictures from that era. One would have to be terribly incompetent to mistake a WW 1 Bi or Tri plane from any nation for a Single Wing WW2 plane. Since he had shown period correct German WW 1 planes earlier in the video and then switches to WW 1 planes a minute later while still discussing WW 1 that shows a lack of due diligence on the part or the creator. The average person may not be able to tell the difference between same era planes from different nations or manufacturers as they are very similar. For the most part the only way to tell would be by the markings. Even an illiterate grade school dropout can tell the difference between a WW1 era plane and a WW 2 era plane. For someone posting Biographical videos that is just not acceptable. Neither error is acceptable. Both are wrong, but one is understandable, while the other is not. People need to stop making excuses for poor quality work and start holding creators accountable for their failings.

That and the fact that it was during his time in Austria where he also visited Italy where he had met with Giuseppe Renzetti, the leader of the Italian Chamber of Commerce that had a major connection to other politicians in the Weimar republic, it was during this period of time where his meetings with Renzetti in Italy in 1924, these meetings were told to Benito Mussolini and were even printed in Il Populo d' Italia papers and this was the start of the connection between the Italian Government and the NSDAP.

@@joesierzenga870 thanks. I've always found goering to be such an interesting character in the Third Reich. He was a handsome, dashing pilot in WW1 and afterwards married a wealthy Swedish Aristocrat and lived in her castle for awhile before returning to Germany where they were known as a high society couple who had a lot of influence in "Golden Twenties " Weimar Berlin. Then he decided to join with Hitler and his thugs and got addicted to morphine and oxycodone and eventually became a corpulent parody of his former self. The only upside being that he married a glamorous movie star who was thought of as the first lady of Germany after his former wife passed away. Only for it all to end so terribly at the end of the war. He claimed he at least got 12 good years out of it though.

Goering didn't claim the army could be supplied by Air, he wasn't even in the same country as Hitler, at the time, that claim was made by Jeschonnek, who later committed suicide on realising his mistake.

I don't know why people keep saying he made the claim. Fact was he was too busy high off his tits to make promises like that.
@Riceball015 жыл бұрын
@@Bluesit32 Probably because Goerring was the head of the Luftwaffe and regardless who originally told Hitler that the Luftwaffe could keep the 6th Army fully supplied by air, Goerring didn't contradict Jeschonnek and tell Hitler otherwise.
@cesarvieceli29585 жыл бұрын
He actually promised that to Hitler and ordered that in a meeting with the luftwaffe high command; even though Richtofen sad that this was impossible. You can check this meeting in books like the German Aces speak, chapter 8, in the end of the chapter Adolf galland talks about this meeting with Goering

You forgot about his personal championing of the Zerstroyer project that produced the luke warm ME-110 and the disastrous ME-210. I've always said that Goering was excellent at preparing for war, but less than stellar at executing it.

Goering raided the SA headquarters with a list of individuals who needed to be arrested and executed. That was his major contribution to The Night of the Long Knives.
