Goering is arguably the most fascinating of the Nazi high command. A dashing and highly decorated fighter pilot in WWI. Handsome and athletic as a young man. Very charismatic and charming as an older man. Extremely bright. Well read. A lover the arts. A sybarite who craved fine cusine and rare wine. *Arguably* not the doctrinal, dogmatic anti-Semite that most of his compatriots were. Which makes him all the more horrifying. He didn't hate the Jews, per se. It was more that he simply did not care. I find that harder to wrap my mind around than a lot of the other Nazi horrors and atrocities.
Guns. Have them.![]()
