Hermann Goering

Hermann Goering‘s story is that of Germany's military aristocratic elite, who turn to the Nazis for salvation. The status and fortunes of Germany's aristocracy are based on land, but by the early decades of the 20th Century, a new Germany is emerging … an industrial and commercial Germany, in which the old nobility struggle to find a role and see their incomes decline. Goering's family is part of Germany's old Imperial elite.
