Hermann Göring: Hitler's Right Hand Who Died on His Own Terms!

A consul's son raised in a Jewish man's castle. A WWI ace who commanded the Red Baron's squadron. A morphine addict committed to an asylum in a straitjacket. And eventually, the Reichsmarschall who cheated the hangman with a glass capsule two hours before his execution. In this 31-minute episode of The Axis Profiles, we trace Hermann Göring's life from his bizarre childhood at Burg Veldenstein and his 22 aerial victories in World War I, through the Beer Hall Putsch bullet that started a lifelong addiction, his rise as the second most powerful man in Nazi Germany, the billion-dollar art heist across occupied Europe, and the Nuremberg courtroom performance that ended with a frozen wink and a creek three metres wide. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — The Creek 02:00 — The Castle & The Cuckold 05:30 — The Ace 09:30 — The Wound & The Needle 13:30 — The Second Man 18:30 — The Looting & The Losing 23:00 — The Telegram 27:00 — The Capsule Subscribe to The Axis Profiles for documentary profiles of the men who shaped the Axis powers, their rise, their decisions, and the consequences they left behind.
