Notwithstanding his prestigious military career, and his formative grounding, Göring crossed the line from being a German to a barbarian. He diverted from a civilized, and cultured, figure to an anti-Semitic, homicidal mass murderer. Göring appeared at the Trials of War Criminals before the Nüremberg Military Tribunals (N.M.T.) (1946-’49), and was found guilty on four counts: 1) ‘Crimes against peace’, 2) ‘Crimes against humanity’, 3) ‘War crimes’, and 4) ‘Conspiracy’ i.e., in having committed the offences described in the first three categories. He was sentenced to death, by hanging, but committed suicide 15 October 1946 (aged 53) before the sentence could be carried out.

Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun Von Braun was born on 23 March 1912, in Wirsitz East Prussia (now Poland), into minor Prussian aristocracy. His father was Magnus Freiherr (Baron) von Braun, and his mother Emmy Baronin (Baroness) von Quistorp. He died, age 65, of colon cancer at Alexandria, Virginia USA on 16 June, 1977. Was an intellectual, probably the most pre-eminent scientist of his generation. He received his B. Sc. Eng. degree at the Berlin Institute of Technology in 1932, and in the following year joined the elite Schutzstaffel (‘Protective Echelon’ (SS)); after which he enrolled at the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Universität under army sponsorship. Two years later he was awarded a Ph.D. phys. His thesis included: The theoretical structure, for addressing liquid propellant rocket problems. Only a synopsis of his thesis was made public. The entire thesis was unrevealed (or classified) until 1960. He joined the Nazi party (1 May 1937) where he started in the rank of a Untersturmführer ‘Second Lieutenant’ and was eventually upgraded, by Himmler, to the rank of a Wehrmacht major. Von Braun often appeared in his SS uniform. According to U.S., Military documents (1947), his full Nazi title was: SS. Sturmbanneuhrer Dr. Baron Wernher Magnus Maximilian von Braun. He retained this title until the end of the war.

For Hitler’s bid for world domination, the very obliging and spirited von Braun designed the deadly Vergeltungswaffe 2 (Aggregat 4 or Reprisal weapon 2) which was instrumental to the Blitzkrieg The literal German translation is ‘lightning war’ campaign by the Luftwaffe that killed 40,000 people q.v., and destroyed more than a million homes in London (et al.); which lasted 76 consecutive nights from the 7 September 1940 to 10 May 1941. The Blitzkrieg was to have supposedly brought a speedy conquest of London in 1940.
