Military fans who are familiar with World War II know that the German Air Force Marshal Hermann Goering has always appeared in a fat and bloated posture. Coupled with his poor performance in World War II, he has almost become the laughing stock of the Allies. .
In fact, the real Goring in history, he was quite handsome when he was young, and his military career is also very legendary, but he was shot after joining the Nazi Party.
Hermann Wilhelm Goering (January 12, 1893-October 15, 1946), he was a political and military leader in Nazi Germany during World War II. The relationship with the "head of state" Adolf Hitler was extremely close, and he had considerable influence in the Nazi party. He served as the commander-in-chief of the German Air Force, the head of the "Gestapo", the person in charge of the "four-year plan", the chairman of the National Assembly, the commander-in-chief of the stormtroopers, the minister of economy, the prime minister of Prussia and many other important positions across the party, government and military. Appointed as successor by Hitler.
After the end of World War II, Goering was convicted of "conspiracy", "crime of breaching peace", "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" in the "Nuremberg Approval" trial of the leaders of the German party, government and military. He was hanged, but the night before the execution, Goring committed suicide by taking poison.
Goering was a famous German "ace pilot" in World War I. He has a record of downing 22 enemy aircraft and won the highest level of German military medal— -"Big Iron Cross".
In the latter part of the war, Goering also served as the last commander of the German First Fighter Online under the leadership of the "Red Baron". After World War I, Goering joined the Nazi Party and was one of the first members of the party. He participated in the failed "Beer Hall Coup" in 1923 and was shot and wounded during the riot. For this reason, he has been relying on morphine injections to alleviate his pain. As a result, his body shape has changed from a strong soldier to a fat and clumsy.
Goering was born on January 13, 1893 in Rosenheim, southern Germany, his father was Heinrich Ernst Goering, Heinrich Originally a cavalry officer, he was later converted to a diplomat. He served as the chief executive of the German West African colony (now Namibia) and was later sent to Haiti as the consul general.
Goering has been very rebellious since he was a child. At that time, anti-Semitism in Germany prevailed, but Goering once had a composition class in his class. The title of the composition was "The Person I Admired Most", and Goring actually wrote His Jewish godfather. This is undoubtedly incompatible with the mainstream in Germany. As a result, he was interviewed by the principal, asking him to write a book of repentance, and no longer allowed to write articles praising the Jews. The classmates also bullied Goring and hung "My godfather is Jewish" on his neck. ", and asked him to punish the frog to jump. Goring was extremely angry about it. One night in 1905, he packed his luggage and fled the school. This school experience left Goring with a deep aversion to knowledge, which caused him to often put a witty remark on his lips: "Whenever I hear the word culture, I will dial my Browning (the famous pistol) Brand).” Just when people thought Goering would be an anti-racist, he became a pioneer in the massacre of Jews during World War II.
Later, with the help of the father and godfather of a cavalry officer, Goering entered the Non-commissioned Officer School in Baden Karlsruhe in 1905 and graduated in 1909 Among them, riding, history, English, French and other subjects are the best. In 1909, Goering entered the prestigious school "Prussian Military Academy" in Berlin. In 1911, he passed the candidate for the junior sergeant with "honorable" grades and became a junior sergeant alternate officer. In 1913, Goring passed the college entrance examination of the school. As an outstanding alternate officer of the prestigious military academy, Goring has had the opportunity to contact the social world and accumulated experience in communicating with the upper class.
From the end of July to the beginning of August 1914, war broke out among European countries, and the First World War began. Germany and France also went to war on August 3, 1914. The 112th Infantry Regiment to which Goering belonged, because it was stationed along the border of France, exploded in the war.After sending out, quickly drove to the war zone. The troops led by Goering attacked the French strongholds in the offensive and defensive battle of Mulhouse and captured four French soldiers. He was awarded the second-class Iron Cross for his exploits. But Goring soon went to the hospital to recuperate due to rheumatic fever.
During Goring’s hospital stay, he was persuaded by his friend Bruno Rorsa of the 112th Infantry Regiment. Goring was transferred from the Army Infantry to the Air Force and joined Frey. Fort conducts flight training. In September 1915, Goering finally became a fighter pilot of the 25th Field Flight Battalion. On October 3, 1915, Goring played for the first time as a fighter pilot. In terms of combat skills and fighting spirit, Goring was recognized by the chief. He soon became the best pilot among German pilots. Won the title of "Iron Man Herman".
On June 2, 1918, in order to reward Goering for shooting down 18 enemy planes, Kaiser Wilhelm II personally awarded Goering the highest honor of the military-the Blue Max Medal, and this medal was only awarded For the pilots who shot down at least 25 planes, but Goring was regarded as a particularly good soldier at the time, so there is this special case. It can also be seen from this that Goring is not only an excellent army soldier, but also an excellent aerialist. knight.
On July 7, 1918, Goering was appointed as the captain of the First Fighter Wing known as "Richthofen Wing". The first captain of this team was Baron Manfred von Richthofen, nicknamed the "Red Baron". He has a record of taking down enemy aircraft and is a legend in the awe of the Allied Forces in World War I. , But died in action on April 21, 1918.
's successor, William Reinhardt, also fell and died on July 3 when the fighter jet disintegrated in the air. The next captain is generally believed to be succeeded by Ernst Udet (62) and Erich Rowenhardt, who are ranked second and third in the number of shots, but Goering unexpectedly Was appointed as the captain, and Goering's fighter career killed 22 enemy planes.
After the end of World War I, it is said that at the ceremony for the dissolution of the Richthofen Fighter Wing, Goering choked and said: Now Germany only has the reputation of being dusted. Forgotten records, ridiculed officers, but the power of freedom, justice, and justice will win the final victory. We will fight against the forces that try to enslave us, and we will eventually win. Richthofen United will give play to their qualifications and glory, whether in war or in peace. Our time will come again, everyone, cheers! for Motherland! For Richthofen United! Then Goring drank the wine in his hand and smashed the glass. The other team members followed suit and wept with grief.
It is undeniable that Goering is an excellent soldier, but it does not mean that he is an excellent general, especially when he was in World War II. Lin became an accomplice of the war madman Hitler, which was also the beginning of his path to destruction.
is still a good old Chinese saying that in the world, one should “make the best use of his talents and make the best use of everything”.
