The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered

Күн бұрын

it was difficult to be more of a Nazi than Reichsmarschall Herman Goering. Perhaps that is what makes it so surprising that his younger brother Albert was so different.

I'm German... I should know this man's story... But I have never heard it before. Wasn't mentioned even once in school, even when we learned about the resistance against nazi rule. And after hearing you tell his story in such a beautiful, passionate way... It makes me sad. Sad that his story is not taught to us and our children. Sad that he never got the recognition he deserved. Sad that even so long after the war he still had to suffer for his name. But it also sparks some pride. I'm proud of the good that people in my country's history have done. The adherence to principles in the face of such horrendous rulers is remarkable. And even though we don't face such terrible rulers anymore in this beautiful country, these principles are slowly being lost. I have found a new hero today. Someone to look at when I question why I keep spending time to help others instead of just doing the same things everyone else is doing. Thank you for remembering, and giving us a chance to remember.

Es gibt einfach keinerlei Grund es in der Schule zu behandeln. Einzig der Name macht es spannend. Aber bis auf eine kleine Anektode ist es eben nichts...

Indeed, no matter the circumstance how you choose to live your life is in your own hands. The Göring brothers are a prime example. It is a shame Albert got so little recognition in his lifetime for the good deeds he performed, but then the person who does good for what they may gain is hardly a good person at all. There are plenty of people who owe their lives and families to this man, no doubt he has their eternal gratitude.

After all, untold numbers of straight-up Nazis were allowed to do this. And after giving information to the Allies regarding the V-1 and V-2 rockets, that is an additional stain on his post-war treatment.

Hermann Goering was somewhat nuanced himself. but he was a moral coward and simply obeyed Hitler.. when Herman was wounded during the Bierkeller Putsch of 1923 he was taken to a house in Munich where 2 Jewish sisters lived. they had worked as nurses in ww1 and treated Hermann until a doctor arrived, probably saving his life!. When the Nazis came to power Hermann ensured the sisters were protected and left unmolested. later when things worsened in Germany with more anti-Jewish laws, he arranged for them both to flee the country, with their money and valuables ( normally any Jew leaving Germany was robbed of all money and property ). The Goering's godfather growing up was a Christian convert, his family were Jewish. Herman especially idolised him. loving the castle they spent many years living in while his mother had an "unconventional relationship" with him. Herman grew up used to being spoiled and getting his own way. He discovered his skill as a political speaker while still an air force officer in 1918 - giving a rousing speech to his men before they were demobilised. the two brothers were certainly different, Albert clearly having a great deal of personal and moral courage. but he relied on the goodwill of his brother, Herman to bail him out.

Another fantastic Episode by you sir! I have just recently been made aware of what Albert Goering had done during the war by one of your contemporaries and I will say between the two of you I have a very good biography of the man now. One thing that can be said, Albert was the good brother and as evil as Herman was he was the good Big Brother.

Right. I have had the pleasure to know Bill Krilling, a direct relative of Hermann Goering. A gentleman in all senses of the word and head of the USMTU at Ft. Benning

Your Intro about siblings is why your channel is so special Sir

Maybe even somewhat more time-consuming than many of the other subjects THG has covered already, great research has gone into making this episode! Kudos for all that work that you have done to be able to cover this, for which I would want to say, thank you HG! What you being out makes for very good educative material, like many I too would not have known nor likely would have learned to know anything about this great piece of history!

PS I somehow would find it a good idea if 'The History Guy' would list his sources (especially in cases where they proved important be cause of the information they contained, and/or when their authors were instrumental for making an episode be cause of their own research).
