Hermann Goering: Nazi Number One - 2006 - 7/10
In depth biography of Reichsmarschall Goering, head of the Luftwaffe.
Childhood, member of Von Richthofen’s Flying Circus during World War I, eventually the smiling, genial face of the Nazi party, the one the common folk could relate to.
Loaded with details: his first marriage, his foot dragging regarding European war, morphine addiction, his retreat into dreams once the war soured.
A more ordinary soul, dishonest with sympathetic points, in the midst of clinical architects of the new order.
A wealth of his home movies were unearthed for this doc, which should pique the interest of history buffs.
