They were the most unlikely siblings - one, Adolf Hitler's most trusted henchman, the other a fervent anti-Nazi. Hermann Goering was a founder member of the Nazi Party, who became commander of the Luftwaffe, ordering the terror bombing of civilians and prompting the use of slave labour in his factories. His brother, Albert, loathed Hitler's regime and saved hundreds - possibly thousands - across Europe from Nazi persecution. He deferred to Hermann as head of the family but spent nearly a decade working against his brother's regime. If he had been anyone else, he would have been imprisoned or executed. Despite their extreme and differing beliefs, Hermann sheltered his brother from prosecution and they remained close throughout the war. Here, for the first time, James Wyllie brings Albert out of the shadows and explores the extraordinary relationship of the Goering brothers.… (plus d'informations)

Several years ago I came across a brief mention that Herman Goering had a brother who was a staunch anti-Nazi and had saved many peoples lives during the regime. Some texts say he should be ranked alongside people like Oskar Schindler for his bravery and achievements, while others only give him a passing mention, or even ignore him entirely. I’ve been looking for a decent biography of him ever since. Unfortunately this isn’t it. As a dual biography of the two brothers it provides some nice counterpoints between the two, and does flesh out more of Albert Goering’s story, but it focuses more on the better known and more readily documented aspects of Hermann’s life. Another problem is that the author has clearly drawn from some sources that have been discredited over the last few decades, which undermines the veracity and accuracy of the text. - The search for a good in-depth look into Albert Goering’s fascinating story continues.

« Chaque matin en nous levant, chaque nuit en nous couchant, nous maudissions la mort qui nous avait invités en vain à son énorme fête. Et chacun de nous enviait ceux qui étaient tombés au champ d’honneur. Ils reposaient sous la terre. Au printemps prochain, leurs dépouilles donneraient naissance aux violettes. Mais nous, c’est à jamais inféconds que nous étions revenus de la guerre, les reins paralysés, une génération vouée à la mort, que la mort avait dédaignée. » Joseph Roth, La Crypte des capucins
