Goering (Hermann Goering)

Hermann Göring was a high-ranking German Nazi official and a key leader in Adolf Hitler’s regime. He founded the Gestapo secret police, was a leading figure in Germany's military and economic efforts during World War II, and held the title of Reichsmarschall. Göring was involved in major wartime decisions, including the persecution of Jews and other minorities. After Germany’s defeat, he was captured, tried for war crimes at Nuremberg, and sentenced to death, but he committed suicide in 1946 before his execution. His role epitomizes the leadership responsible for many of the Nazi regime's atrocities.
