M German officers of World War II: Hermann Goering and Hjalmar Schacht

Hermann Goering (January 12, 1893 - October 15, 1946)

Hermann Goering was a military ace of the First World War. In 1922, he joined the Nazi Party NSDAP and became the head of Adolf Hitler's security service. In 1923, he participated in the failed coup in Munich, during which he was wounded by a police bullet while walking with Hitler to the Odeon Platz. From May 1928 he was a member of the German Parliament, and from 1932 - its president. The outstanding role he played in the creation of dictatorial power brought him many honors and condescension of the Fuhrer, who did not respond to Goering's love of a luxurious life, combined with incompetence and cardinal mistakes in the performance of his duties.

The peak of his career and influence came in 1940, when Luftwaffe aircraft contributed to the victories of the Nazi army in Europe. In July, he was awarded the title of Reichsmarschall, created especially for him. The defeat in the Battle of Britain in 1940 and the lack of air support for the German army, surrounded at Stalingrad in 1942, as well as the frequent Allied air raids on Germany weakened its position. On April 20, 1945, he saw Hitler for the last time in a bunker in Berlin, and three days later he sent a message that he was ready to act as Hitler's successor. The Fuhrer perceived this as treason, and Goering, stripped of all military ranks and expelled from the party, was arrested by the SS. On May 8, he was handed over to the Americans.
