Hermann Göring

Nuremberg Trials The Nuremberg Trials were held by the four major Allies of World War II which included the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and France. After the war was over, Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Leader, Franklin D Roosevelt, President of the U.S., and Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Britain signed the Moscow Declaration which stated that the Axis power were to take responsibility for the war. In 1943 US Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson got the four…

a powerful air force would ultimately win you the war, as airstrikes were indefensible. Herman Göring, the leader of the German Luftwaffe strongly used Douhet’s theories in his planning of the airstrikes which went along with the Nazi Blitzkrieg that decimated most of Western Europe. In this essay I will illustrate that the strategies that were formulated by Douhet and used by generals such as Göring were for the most part unsuccessful, as clearly seen in the Battle of Britain, I will show that…

Rudolf Hess would’ve taken over Germany. Hess would not last very long as he was not fit for the job especially due to his lack of power compared to the other rival leaders. This would leave leading members of the Nazi party Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Göring who despised each other competing for the chancellor position. However, each individual lacked leadership which was a crucial skill. Eventually, the competition between the two would get heated suggesting possible assassination attempts…

The Nuremberg Trials Justice is an elusive thing in the world and it is usually undermined by those in power. Consistently in history the victor is the one who determines their own justice. However, after WWII the allied powers of the United Kingdom, United States of America and the Soviet Union set a precedent for convicting war criminals and the means of doing so. The Nuremberg trials sought to bring credible justice, not just victor's justice, to the men responsible for the atrocities…

over the age of 10, have to wear yellow stars. From April 9th to October 7th, Denmark, Norway, France Belgium, Holland, Luxemburg, and Romania are all invaded by the Nazi army.

“universal treason, corruption, lies, and failures of those who had deserted” (?????). Hitler also arrested Himmler and Göring shortly after his 56th and last birthday, because they chose not to stay with him in the Füherbunker. Göring was stripped of all his power, and Himmler was almost executed, but since Hitler could not pinpoint the location of him, Himmler’s personal liaison, Hermann Fegelein, was executed…

The Russians hailed it a “contemporary Cannae,” and the Germans condemned it as a Rattenkrieg (Rat War). Both descriptions were fitting. In the Battle of Stalingrad, Soviet forces surrounded and crushed an entire German army under General Friedrich Paulus, emulating Hannibal’s encirclement and destruction of a Roman army under Aemilius Paulus in 216 B.C. For both sides, Stalingrad became a desperate ordeal of rodentlike scurrying from hole to hole. This monumental battle is justly considered a…

As early as 1942, the Allies learned from various sources in Nazi-occupied Europe that the Germans were carrying out many atrocities against Jews, prisoners of war, and other groups. On October 7 of that year, the United States and Great Britain established the War Crimes Commission, which made lists of German war criminals. In the Moscow Declaration of November 1, 1943, the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union affirmed that they intended to bring German war criminals to justice…

But before 1945, there were no definite and universal way to punish people for atrocious actions committed during war. After the war, there were different ideas in how to treat them. In the beginning of the movie, you can see Hermann Goring being treated with a soldier’s welcome by American soldiers. He is seen as a fellow soldier who deserves to be treated with a code of honor. There are others (particularly Russian officials) who want the quick death of all members of the Third…
