This wasn't a history class, Steve, and this guy got enough due process. Granted, he was good at what he did. And that's to include everything you just said. But this was a trial and in no sense of the term was he railroaded in it.Goering did come from a relatively well to do background,unlike most nazi leaders. Whether someone is Aryan or not is a nonsense anyway,except to a nazi. It's a term properly applicable to a group of languages not a mythical race of people.
Goering was a competent politician and one of the brighter of the nazi leadership. He was one of the parties most successful organisers in the inter war years.
His performance at Nuremberg,once clean,particularly against the first (US) prosecutor,Jackson,was impressive whether we like or not.
I've read transcripts of the trials. It is boring,laborious and not recommended
Transcripts of Goering's cross examination are here for those who want to read what he actually said in his defence.
Goering Transcript
The discussion about disclosure at the start of the second transcript would make any modern day lawyer uncomfortable. The prosecution has done away with one of the foundation stones of all legal systems based on English Common Law.
Part 4,with the British prosecutor,covers the execution of the Great Escapees.
You don't have to like the man or what he stood for. I certainly don't,but to dismiss his entire carreer in terms of the drug addled "fat man" of popular propaganda is not a useful way of understanding how the nazis came to and excercised power with such dreadful consequences for all of us. Battering your way through the transcripts of these trials is.
