      I wouldn't say Richthofen became a villain. The German Empire was nowhere near as brutal as Nazi Germany was. They were actually pretty par for the course among imperial powers in the 1910s. Richthofen was simply a master of his craft and was respected for it by both friend and foe.

    This was a great recount, however you did miss the fact that during 1925-1934 he was a political figure within the Reichstag as a representative of the NSDAP and was even the head of the Reichstag in 1933 that prevented Franz von Papen and Kurt von Schleicher from pushing the enabling act to give themselves full power of the government.
    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.

    After the intro to the Hermann Goering episode... Is it better to leave your mark on history as a monster, or leave no mark at all? History will remember Goering, but it certainly won't remember the millions upon millions of average Joes. Goering was an incredibly intelligent and charismatic man who, sadly, devoted his talents to the wrong cause.
    And that is, I think, the true horror of Nazi Germany: It abused the talents of gifted men and women (Goering and Riefenstahl) and turned completely average and normal people into monsters (Eichmann).

    Ah yes, Goering. People said that he wore so many medals that he had to be careful when visiting a metal factory because of the magnets. I really love your presentation.

    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.

      @@Verdunveteran - De äldre i artikeln nämnde inte kvinnliga besökare. Men på den tiden om man ville ha en romantisk affär brukade man låna nåns lägenhet i ett par timmar så man skulle slippa skvaller i ens trappuppgång. Sen hade hade inte direkt några unika ansiktsdrag, så det kanske är bara sammanträffande. Man kan även undra om det är värt att forska ifall man är besläktad till en krigsbrottsling. Görings efterträdare tog det inte väl. Minst en av dem lät sig steriliseras så Görings gener skulle dö ut med dem.

      @@ZombieDragQueen det är alltid värt att efterforska! Att censurera historia är fullständigt oacceptabelt. Och med hänsyn till att han inte var någon krigsförbrytare när han var i Malmö så finns det ingen anledning för varken min kusin eller hans mamma, eller någon annan i vår släkt, att känna någon skam än mindre skuld om det visar sig att någon anförvant skulle ha haft ihop det med honom. Det är ju trots allt orimligt att tro, om så hade skett, att vederbörande skulle ha kunnat se in i framtiden och förutse att Göring skulle komma att bli en av de mest ökända krigsförbrytarna under vk.2.

      I'm curious. I've had an interest in Sweden and it's culture for sometime. You mention people in Sweden are not generally chatty. I've read this in several sources. Would you mind elaborating on this, please? I live in Asheville, North Carolina, US. I've never traveled to Europe. Should I have an opportunity, Sweden and the Scottish Highlands would be my choices.

      Bra jobbat ('well done'), saving history🇩🇰. I live within walking distance of Klövermarken (Cloverfield) the first airport of Copenhagen, where Göring was also based in the early 1920'ies, flying mail and charter between Sweden, Denmark and Germany. The local story, documented by shopping bills, goes that he aquired a strong and long-lasting taste for Danish pastry ('Wienerbröd') which also made him loose his wasteline😂. We even know the name of his favorit Baker, where he still ordered pastry, well into the 1930'ies.

    I used to work at a grocery store when I was in high school and there was a guy in his late 40s or early 50s working there who looked exactly like Goering. 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.
