Odd that the man who wanted peace ended up being the architect of the concentration camps and greatest slaughter of people.
Go get slave owners…from top to bottom the families still alive today…the Israelites are the real Jews…not these fake kharzarian converted caucasian amalek males…now go get the families alive today …the Israelites are not Africans so dont call us that …
Very informative.
Did Goring really wear colored nail polish?
wars are really a waste of good blood. anyone born will one day die, why rush it?

5:20
2:08… East Frankfurt?
as always excellent pile of infromation, thank you Mark
I have to admit i watch and listen your videos and audio books with a cigar and a cognac. Love your contributions.
Though somehow this one didnt taste good anymore when i was reminded again that Göring smoked them as well..
Keep up the good work Mark!
word has it that when they caught one of his underlings, they pushed his head into a toilet and yelled "WHO IS IN CONTROL OF NUMBER TWO", just like in the movie Austin Powers…….
21:59…is that the Chilean flag on the back?
When the Göring gets tough, the tough gets Göring.
the real reason why Reichmarshal Herman Goring did not get away at the end of WW2 was that he had eaten to many Luffwaffles
Goerring was a dead man walking wearing grand uniform! Too bad that he didn’t know it himself
So how was Hitler's no 2? Firm yet stinky because vegetarian 😄
What is the collar insignia @ 5:54?
Never seen that before….
has anyone ever figured out how fat boy got cyanide? I read someplace that it was an American that managed to slip it to him.
After being disgraced, imprisoned and sentenced to hang, then eating a cyanide capsule, I have to conclude that the general did indeed NOT have a good run for his money.
Mark, you should mention that the reason Goring was fat is he was on Methadone for many years, you can see how much weight he lost at the Nuremburg trial after being weaned from the drug in prison.
By April of 1945 I do not think that Goering was the number two?
Allways brilliant short interesting stories THANK You
