I wish I was gonna meet the father almighty soon by the looks of how at peace I'm feeling after last night's drunk hooch and hollering let's say I made my peace this world has had enough of me and me of it gotta go now just caught that dirty rat that's been bothering my dog chow for now
I just wanted to utter my appreciation for the fact that German names, titles and words are pronounced perfectly in this documentary. As far as I know, this is very rare in English language documentaries. Well done!
I guess the pronunciation cop isn't infallible lol.
ABOVE.....ZZZZZZZZZZZNOOR
Interesting comment considering the content of said docummentary.
@Aries GosserOW and my 4 decades in southern United States coincide with your observation. It's not a fault to be ignorant; yet we have elevated ignorance arrogance and stupidity to an art form. We in America take pride in our newly acquired stupidity.
The Swedish pronounciations, no so perfect. But hey, two languages out of three isn't bad. ;)
“We will go down in history either as the world’s greatest statesman or it’s worst villains”
Hermann Goering
Actually his mother apparently said it. Not Hermann himself
And Joseph Goebbels said towards the end " If, .. by some quirk of fate, we are compelled to leave the stage of history, we will slam the door so hard, that mankind will jump back in stupifaction. "
Meanwhile .. noting the sprouting of swastika flags at the Krupp castle at Essen, Bertha Krupp had said " See how low we have fallen. "
@@evancoker194 yes before he committed suicide Hitler quoted “ one day 50 years from now they will be making colour movies of us” and “ after its destruction Germany will rise up and be powerful world leading country again, like a Phoenix from the ashes” he was right on both. But he also said a lot of nonsense that never came true so take from that what you want?
his mother said ( He) not We
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.
I always think of Goring as a Goldfinger, from James Bond type of guy. He laughs and cheers at party's joking around meanwhile in the other room they torture opponents
@@jimmykarlsson2567 And personally orders others deaths while you're away.
@@maxxdahl6062 Exactly. Impressive as he was, in the final analysis he was a murderer.
Did not take long before someone just had to use the Nazi word ... :( Some people just can't help themselves.
@@jimmykarlsson2567 yeh I know what you mean.
I don't think he was a coward. It took much bravery to fly in the early days of aviation. And after all, he was an ace. His downfall was that his ambitions were greater than his ability to carry them out.
Also that hitler dude he liked to hang out with was a bit of a bad egg
Also,I think they started believing their own propaganda.
Coward with a capital C… a brave man doesn’t commit suicide
@@sandtoy11510 I find it clever to take one's own life in a way which is less painful than being hung by the enemy. Some executions took from 14 to 28 minutes. Few would call Hannibal a coward.
@@isaacburrows8405 🤣
Thank you.
It is refreshing to see a documentary of facts, not of emotions, or historical prejudice.
Also in Canadian royal airforce
Jd how's things
“No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr, If one reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Göring. You can call me Meyer.”
Hermann Meyer.
Bravery or recklessness. He earned his stripes in WW1 whereas a lot of leading nazis were too young to fight but spoiled for a fight. Drugs addled his brain and it's noted that at nuremburg he was as sharp as a razor once he was clean again. his brother chose a different path but history never remembers him very well.
he had good reason to kill the pain, but i assume you know that
@@ftargr and what's that? His injuries from WW1 yea makes sense. The guy was an ace a war hero. And they wanted to blame him for the concentration camps lol. He got the last laugh the scumbags wanted to hang him and not even a soldiers death ahaha so great .
As someone who's been obsessively studying this period of German history for over 40 years now, I can only say 'Well done!'. If I had a better speaking voice, I would have helped out a long time ago.
What I most admire of this channel is the balance its creators keep in their research. Thanks as always!
This documentary makes him a far more interesting character than I had expected
War makes us all evil in one way or another
Great documentary of Riechsmarshall Goring.
Thank you for being the best history channel on TH-cam, always excellent quality and engaging content.
Thank you!
Positively excellent! Thank you!
A great video.
Straight up and to the point.
Thank you Sir
You should do an episode on his brother Albert who was an actual hero and someone everyone should hear about
Albert wouldn’t have been able to do most of his work of rescuing people without Hermann’s aid
Goring:
*Sickened by Himmler and Goebels discussing the extermination of the Jewish race
*Bought Jewish art and protected Jewish artists
*Wanted nothing to do with the Holocaust
*Cooperates with the Allies
-
Also Goring:
*Orders the preparations of the Final Solution
Like what
The better story is his brother Albert who actively saved jews all throughout the war but went to jail just because of his name after the war
I doubt he had much of a choice in the matter. Defy Hitler, especially in the later years, you're "delt" with.
Honestly I think he should have been the one we kept alive, as opposed to Speer. Goring was extremely ambitious if not morally ambiguous. His memoirs would have been extremely valuable for historians. He never sugar coated anything unlike Speer, and he fell out of favor with Hitler due to his tendency to argue with him.
Still a Nazi though so...meh.
@@Muhmawmehmaw I do wonder what would have happened if he led Germany instead of hitler
@@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.
Thanks for your excellent documentary efforts -I feel educated on the man now.
Thank you for profiles of truth. Too many times people do profiles with a personal bias toward or against the person.
I found this you tube channel.and I'm so very glad I did
You Sir are an excellent top notch host and narrirator.
your pronouncement and accent is quite enjoyable to listen to
blessings
I'm still here
These are very nice and informative series of history. Thank you
His divine grace......our messiah.
Great coverage of Goring. Much more detailed than what I had learned long ago. I thought that he lost control of the SA due to Rolhm taking it from him due to drug addiction. Also never knew he was nursed by Jews either. Maybe that is why he didn't pursue his brother from helping jews leave Germany?
Sembrava un tricheco spiaggiato in coma etilico, non le avrei affidato nemmeno il cane per andare a fare i bisogni. :)
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.
Very well done and informative 👍
Beautiful landscape and architecture.
Very interesting and informative.
Excellent video thank you
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.
Manfred VonRichthoven despised him
Fyi the morphine addiction came about after he was shot during the beer hall putch and he relapsed after a severe toothache later in life
@@grandpoobahful so what ??
As someone who knows (3 shattered vertebra), Morphine robs you of your mental prowess ... I mean morphine disconnects signals to the brain and while it is far better than living in pain there is a price to pay for that relief ... your life changes, you change ... the effect is not dissimilar dementia.
Yeah he was well liked even at the trials by guards , he even befriended a American prison guard and gave him his watch before he died.
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.
exactly
I'm listening to this because my great grand dad was one of his guards during the Nuremburg Trials and I thought that was really interesting so I wanted to learn more about him since he is also a very infamous person.
Loved that comment towards the end, approximately, "and this is where it gets really sketchy,”
a highly decorated ww1 veteran
A brilliant documentary as ever from People Profiles
Well presented
Every morning he woke to eat ze Luftwaffles...
Wow! Interesting history!
He spent time in a madhouse in Sweden in the 20ies.
I am new to this channel. I find myself intrigued by WWII German theater of events. At first I thought the re-hatching of the historical background in each of the videos was redundant. I soon changed my mind in this episode with information like, intricacies of the the beer hall putsch and the issues with Ernst Röhm. In other words I have heard a few details that I have not been knowledgeable about, or I have forgotten. Thanks
Quite neutral report based on facts.
I quite like old Herman after watching this!
A man of singular moral excellence.
I'm glad you got the pronunciation of the Fock name correct
Thank You!!!
Great work. You master the craft. Can somebody tell what are the pages where in My Struggle is the reference to the two fronts mentioned in the video by HG to AH, please?
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 !
I consistently found Goering to be the most intriguing figure among the Nazis.
As a Luxemburger, I learned from your superb work that Nazi leaders were jailed for a (short?) time in the Palace Hôtel in Bad Mondorf (Mondorf-les-Bains), Luxembourg. I ignored this fact and therefore want to thank you.
Sorry, what burger?..
@@remowilliams6152 Have a look at a map of Europe and your will (maybe) spot a little triangle squeezed between France, Germany and Belgium. This is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and its inhabitants are Luxemburgers. And they also enjoy a good burger from time to time. 😄
He was definitely not a coward. Maybe many other things....but never a coward.
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.
It's interesting to hear that Goring did everything in his power to convince Hitler not to invade Russia. Also Ribbentrop felt that way too! Thought that invading the U.S.S.R. Would be a horrible idea and it turned out they were both right.
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
Hey, That's me!
I think he was the best of the crew. He was a man addicted to gratification like Canada's "True dough".
Well stated and true.
How about doing a profile on a hero like Klaus von Stauffenberg who orchestrated a plot to assassinate Hitler.
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.
A magnificent air ace and crook ....
Any plans for a people's profile on Manfred Von Richtofen?
Yes
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
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.
Be careful in the editing room, at 10:34 as it’s described Göring getting a metal, the film shows Eddie Rickenbacker being awarded a medal from General Pershing, I believe it’s Pershing.
And his bass was also superb.
The no.2 in the government and party's hierarchy.
Also a Common thief of stolen Art treasure...a mass murderer
His signature his planned strategy orchestrated the final solutions...sending millions of people's to Consentration Camp
Where they were gassed starved to death or shot into mass grave
He is just another Nazi pigs 🐖
No wonder he was hang as a criminal....
We always think of HG’s Anti-Nazi Freedom Fighter Brother. HG actually protected him during the war.
I hope this channel will make a profile video about U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. Please excuse this request in the comment section as I don't know how to properly make a request.
He had good points..
℠ꝰꝺ∞ - THE DISH THAT RAN AWAY WITH T SPOON
Wasn't there already a video about Goring? I am almost certain there was.
There was...
@@PeopleProfiles Is this one different? Or was the previous one taken down? I watched all the WW2 biographies, this is hands-down my favorite history channel.
I think Göring could have been successful in stopping Hilter if he had the right people at the right time.
The fact that he and Hilter constantly argued about war strategies definitely showed that he was not afraid..
@@jamesgordon177 yes in alot of ways he was, he didnt want all jews to be exterminated and he didnt wanna go into Russia and fight the war on 2 fronts so i guess that means he wasnt a full Nazi. I mean the whole killing jews was a big part of membership into their club. Sounded like if he was in charge history would be different, but then again history is written by the winners so who knows 🤷
No other WW2 General did so much to insure an Allied victory as Hermann Goering.
if you were correct, the word you would want to use is ensure
Wonderful man. RIP Herman
I went to school with a kid who was allegedly (by his own words) directly related to Herman Goring. I'm not sure if he was his great grandson or nephew or whatever but he did look somewhat similar to him as well.
The fucked up thing about it is he gave off a sense of being somewhat proud of it. He just couldn't wait to tell you about it lmfao.
fucked up why?
If it wasn’t for the gender I would have assumed we met the same kid. One of my college acquaintances is related to him and she’s the sweetest and most chill person though a bit odd. She has shown me some rare pictures of Goering with other family members and stuff, has some keepsakes from him that got passed down her family etc. She does look like him too although her hair’s a lighter shade of blonde + she has brown eyes. I wonder if both our acquaintances know each other or smth
You're telling me that Göring was the 'nice' one??
Good man.
A glaring omission: as a young boy 'Goering was an amazingly brave mountain climber. In WWI he dangled by his legs from under the plane to take photos. Your accounts seem rather palid, somewhat like a game of paint by numbers. Robert Thomson (Godwin Books)
I think took advantage of a perfect situation which was WW2. He began a spoiled child again.
I thought that Goering received the title of Reichmarshal at the 1940 Marshal award ceremony.
Very informative thank you. I found out recently that Carin his first wife was my distant cousin! On my Irish line.
Well done. As for the details, for how long will they matter? {Assuming humanity survives ... } in 100 years, his name may still come up fairly regularly, details will fade or become distorted. In 1000 years, he won't be important enough to be mentioned. In 10,000 years, no one will even care to look back that far in history, except as am episodic footnote. In 100,000 years, little of the fine details of this history will remain. In 1,000,000 years ... no traces will remain. In 1,000,000,000,000 years .... just gives a perspective of how such minute details are relevant for only a small fraction of time.
so he was human... 🤔
He surelly lovable husband. At least Carin passed away early. 🎉
I think that Goring was the only one to escaped the hangman rope.
If you would happen to be among war criminals better by like Göring not like Goebbels. You could also be like Hess, but you wouldn't be able to influence events in that case. Also if you was trusted to control the army, help it to lose the war as fast as possible without being suspected. If you would save million it doesn't matter how you would be punished or remembered.
♡
Ring and gor from goring are very significant like coming straight from Tolkien born in Bloemfontein and dead in Bournemouth
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
This is a pretty good documentary. But there's a lot more in the final 2 years of Goring that could've been mentioned.
@@missnataliedavis Could cut out other stuff? 🤷♂️
His favorite foods were sandwiches and beer and he stayed up until 2 or 3 am? Damn he just like me fr
A true hero
What the hell you've got footage of Eddie Rickenbacker receiving a medal while talking about Goering receiving a medal, an allied American ACE flying a French Spad, you have violated my hero
*medal

His daughter was very good looking and resembled him. She said he was the best father and always praised him. 👍
I go to college with a girl who is related to him and she’s very pretty too, she’s half Latina but she’s seems to have inherited most of Hermann’s facial features.
and apparently he was one of few top Nazis that remained faithful to their wife.
Not really any mention of his drug addiction.
An opportunist with a very flexible moral compass. Not a pure brute like many of the worst nazis.
Heydrich, Himmler and Goebells were totally without redeeming qualities and their deaths were positive for all humanity.
You ever heard the vital signs Rush
I understand the greatest debate in Germany back around the 30's was "which is better, Luftwaffes or Luftpancakes?"...
He played all his cards till the end.
It feels like he was far from one of the worst. A pretty low bar considering some of those people, of course. Still, a lot of people worse than him had medals hung on their chest rather than being condemned to be hanged.
Sounds like a good guy!
Yeah! At least, when compared to the other Nazis.
"Wow, he wasn't racist and didn't want to slaughter millions of Jews!" pleased me, but then I considered I may be setting the bar low.
At least he ‘had enough balls’ to not want to personally carry out the holocaust
