Biography of Albert Göring: Hermann Göring's brother (1895-1966)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- The name Göring it is inextricably linked with Hermann, the second man of Hitler's odious Nazi regime. However, he wasn't an only child. In fact, Hermann had several siblings. Among them was Albert. Even though his brother personified evil, Albert did everything he could to save Jewish citizens and political dissidents after the Nazis seized power.
His name and deeds have mostly been forgotten after the war, which is all the more reason to dedicate a video to him.

Following the 1938 Anschluss, the Nazis incorporated Austria into their German Reich. Over the next few years, more and more antisemitic legislation was issued. They oppressed Jewish civilians while slowly but surely Europe descended towards what would become the Second World War. One of the men responsible was one of the most influential figures of the Nazi party: Hermann Göring. Thanks to men like him, Nazi brutes had free reign to terrorise Jewish civilians, as happened one day in Vienna. When a few Sturmabteilung thugs forced elderly Jewish citizens on their knees to clean the cobbled streets, a crowd gathered and jeered. But one man walked up, took off his coat and began scrubbing the streets with them in solidarity.
Angered at this seemingly German man’s civilian disobedience, the SA-men asked for his identity documents. When he showed it to them, they abruptly halted the humiliating practice and ordered the elderly people to go on their way. Because the identity documents revealed this man was Albert Göring, brother of the second-most powerful man in the Nazi Reich.

Really excellent and not discussed. I had heard Hermman's brother wasn't a Nazi, but had no idea he actively saved Jews. This should be a movie.
Right? I'm kind of amazed it's not, it's perfect movie material.
At lest, a movie would give Albert some justice.
If anyone was to make this movie I already got a title for it... My Brother's Long Shadow
another one was heinz heydrich, reinhard's brother who helped the jews to escape.
That’s dreadfully tragic. Such a brave and steadfast anti-Nazi, consigned to oblivion simply because of who his elder brother was.
So many were.
That is quite true
That is the way of the world right into this time.
His last act was to make sure his housekeeper had a decent life. Plus everything he did before, that's how one recognizes a true hero.
A good and heroic man .He deserves to be remembered for all his courageous acts for all time .
Incredible story about an incredible person, whose name somehow got lost in the history.. but not his deeds.. thanks for making us all aware !!
Actually we Germans had a lot of war heroes too.
Sadly everyone prefers to rember the evil guys .
I know. That is another immense tragedy. In my family I saw it. They cannot be acknowledged, however much they did. Yet they did exist.
@@terencefield3204 I don't like when people on yt put on all allied soldiers as heroes , and all Germans as evil .It's not just that black and white .Especially those people who say about all the bad things the allies had done have been justified .Crap ,there are good and bad people in all Nations .Sure we started the war and have been on the wron side .
@@samkangal8428 my great grand father escaped when the nazis started war in europe. Hero German man
Well when one nation rumbles across Europe twice in one century, that happens.
@@Fatherofheroesandheroines I agree with you on WW2 ,of cuz we have been wrong .I'm not that sure on WW1 .The British Empire and the East didn't minded to expand eather .
Great video! It is uplifting to know that Herman Goering’s brother named Albert opposed the Nazis and was a devout Roman Catholic. He helped countless Jews by saving their lives. He persisted when life threw him wicked curve balls attempting to destroy him. Although he died poor financially I bet his Spirit was rich! Thanks for sharing this video.
The choices we make is not always associated with name or title. We all can choose to be either good or evil.
Indeed. I often wonder what, for instance, Himmler would have been like if he had earnestly pursued his boyhood fancy of becoming a priest. Could he have been another Maximilian Kolbe? How much would history have changed? Would his name be known, or would he be among the anonymous millions of victims?
@@christosvoskresye The Catholic Priests were among the Nazis most prolific enablers. The Pope and all the charlatan Catholic priests should’ve been sat next to Goring at the Nuremberg Trials.
God damn Right!!!!😎
@@mikeappleget482Painting with a broad brush today, aren't we?
@@christosvoskresye Facts don’t care about your feelings.
Another Oskar Schindler? What a story. !! I feel so sad that he had to suffer in the end for no reason at all.
But, that is life!:(:(
life indeed my friend =/
Better
@@NathanDudani ...?
I'm smiling with a joy for all those he helped throughout his life. Thankyou Albert.
Very interesting I never even knew about this brother... What a great man yet a sad and tragic ending for him...
Yeah. It is weird that say even in school history books or history articles about Hermann.... there is no mention of "oh by the way Hermann's brother was a massive anti-nazi, openly, but Hermann still used his influence to bail out his brother" as part of just.... live and acts of Hermann Göring and his vast influence in the Reich.
Love learning about the obscure people who made history like Albert Goering, I had heard about him through my grandfather who was one of his interrogaters at the end of the second world war,never heard of anyone else even mention him before you
This video is exactly why I’m so glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do!
I couldn't agree more man =)
Albert's biological father was the Jewish lover of Goering's mother. Despite that, he was never betrayed by his half-brother.
Hermann Göring himself despite being anti-Semitic skirted the Nuremberg laws himself when it suited him like when his top Luftwaffe commander Erhard Milch came under suspicion; he forged documents and got Milch’s mother to renounce her possibly Jewish husband and had Milch “aryanized”. To him I believe he said “I decide who is a Jew and who is not”. Despite being an evil fat bastard, his one redeeming quality was that he was a devoted family man(was faithful to his wife and spoiled his daughter like a princess; one of the few top nazis to not have mistresses which is surprising as the infamous nazi fratboy) and that included his possibly half-Jewish brother which he bore no ill will towards despite his brother obviously going behind his back to protect Jews and publicly denouncing Hitler.
Fascinating video man, id never heard of Albert Goering
Read more then.
@@terencefield3204 Thanks man, I will!
Why hasn’t Albert Göering’s name been brought up a lot more often in history I wonder? This is very interesting! Thank you!
Found that very interesting shows how good some people are no matter what
Extremely interesting thank you. A terrible time to be living and sometimes it puts it into perspective our modern day “troubles”
Exactly.. Most of the time our "troubles" don't amount to a hill of beans.
Thankyou for this. I had heard of him, but you have done an excellent job of fleshing his story out.
The life of Albert Goring is most interesting and sheds light on the life of his brother Hermann Goring much more clearly than is the case in other videos such as the life of Hermann Goring's first wife Carin. It is indeed very sad that so many people during the World War II period are misunderstood today. Hopefully this video and others will help to shed light on the true life of individuals such as both Albert and his many Goring relatives.
You always surprise me with some top-notch well-researched video, mate! Well done!
Very interesting part of history that remains hidden from most of us. I really love this channel!
Facinating. I believe there was a nephew who served as an enlisted sailor in the USN; he was from Brooklyn.
That would be a nephew of Adolf. As for the B-17 pilot, I wonder if he did his 30 missions.
Why is there not a movie about this guy?
Seriously there's so many grate real life WWII stories that should be movies.
A movie will not make a good image of the despised name , Goeing.
Besides..movies About
" good deeds" is not a box office maker.
Makes me wonder if Albert could have convinced Herman to change and see just what kind of people he was associating with.
Hermann loved the trappings of power too much.
Life is not a Hollywood movie.
"see just what kind of people he was associating with" - ?? - What the hell is that suppose to mean? You make it sound like Hermann was somewhat better than Hitler and the other evil Nazis. He was not! He personally ordered the mass annihilation of Jews. Your statement is utterly stupid. You might as well have said that if only Hitler's sister had somehow got her brother to see the kind of people he was associated with. Herman was evil to the core and a coward at his death.
Doubtful. Herman Goring was a hardcore Nazi.
Another fascinating insight into history. I enjoy your presentations.
Thanks Geoffrey!
Amazing narrative. Thank you for such moving vídeo.
Great report, thank you!
If this isn’t the best example of nature vs nurture then idk what is
Great videos! Excellent channel!
What a great story
Thank you for sharing
I'm glad you called the Versalles treaty an injustice.
Well done !! Nobility is a reward but will not keep you warm and fed. This man deserved more, at least recognition for his selfless acts.
Great information. Thanks.
A remarkable story. Thank you for telling it.
Thank you for reporting this .
What a decent fellow. Surely some recuperation of the family name.
Excellent story.
Wow!! I had no idea.. Thank you for this..
Very interesting video.
I've enjoyed this heroic bio before...
You did well by him.
Oh so interesting. I did not know this. Thank you!
Very interesting. I watched an interview with Herman's US Army translator from the Neumberg. He was a German-American Jewish kid whose family escaped pre Germany. He went through mountains of documents with Goering and prosecutors. Many were orders Hermann had signed releasing individual German Jewish WW1 veterans from camps before the Holocaust was instituted and this wasn't possible anymore. Among those he released was the translator's grandfather, who was unfortunately later rearrested and killed. I suspect Goering was less the good natzi and more the egomaniac seeking power and wealth.
he deserves his own movie
Thank you
Very very very interesting. I had no idea of any of this.
Great sweater!
Very interesting!! 🤔
New subscriber here 👍😊
Great story! And all true. Wonderful.
Thank you :)
Very interesting information! Could you make a film about Rudolph Kasztner?
I am glad that were some Germans, such as Albert Goering, who refused to fall for anti-Semitism and, instead, tried to save as many Jews as possible. He had opposed the unjust policies banning Jews from public life. Thank you for this video of Albert Goering.
Extremely intresting! I will tell my Jewish wife, she will be shocked as well.
the Nazis' greatest fear was open resistance to the regime and a few hundred people like Albert would have overthrown the regime. Unfortunately, there were far too few with the right moral orientation.
there was thousands of them, but without a prominent brother like Herrmann, they was busted away easely and ended up in concentration camps.
Very good I never knew that not every one was a silent compliciter ?
Wow, I'm quite literally shocked that I'd never heard of this man! You would think this would be very well and widely known...? (I guess it's possible that it actually is and I just have somehow missed the boat on this one haha) This was a truly great video my friend. =) thank you.
Indeed not, I can modestly say that I have a pretty in-depth knowledge of WW2 and it's 1st I ever heard of Albert Göring.
@@j.jwhitty5861 this, exactly and entirely. =)
i had to make a powerpoint about this guy for german class, this was great. very interesting stuff
History is written by the victors - the Allies went on to such laudable pursuits as Operation Paperclip but did not acknowledge those that stood against the Fascists within the Axis countries. I have not heard of him, but thank you for remembering his life.
What do you mean?! Americans are - and have always been - perfect, just ask one, they'll tell you.
Don't ya know they saved the world all alone ?😅
Didn't take long for the American bashing to start.
@@mikegillihan4546 I ' m sorry ,i like the US , but this American first thing and Patriotic overacting is a bit strange for the 'rest ' of the world .In the same way you celebrate ww2 heroes you forget Nam fighters .Your Nr.45 even call those who died for their Uncle Sam losers .
Interesting!
thanks brilliant would make a great movie
Kind of reminds me of John Wilkes Booth's good brother Edwin Booth.
I've heard about this man before. And what he did was most admirable. I'm only sorry that his name cursed him after the way. Had no idea that he had some cousins that defied the Nazis too.
Please profile Stalag 3 and the great escape. Thanks in advance.
WoW! Not all the apples that fall from a tree are bad.
I never heard about Albert he sounds like a ledgend. Why is this not talked about more? He saved people alot by the sounds of it.
Also think his brother was a sociopath have few people they care about and it seems he did care for his brother. Psychopaths don't care about anyone. Both lack empathy so it would explain how Herman was able to do what he did.
If only others who, like Albert, refused to hang images of Hitler, had been able to escape their punishment. My Godfather's father (this is the story I was told as a child at least) owned a Gasthof very near the Mohnesee Dam. His refusal to hang a portrait of Hitler was purportedly the reason he was forced into the military. He was on duty on the Mohnesee Dam when the British bombed it, and his remains were never found. His son was incredibly proud of his father's stand, even if it did cost the older man his life. Growing up in Germany in the 1960s as a Canadian kid was a wonderful experience, as we learned more about life under the Nazis than we were ever taught in school. Most of the German people we were close with had never fallen in line with Nazi ideology, but learned to minimize their risk of punishment by keeping quiet about politics. Since my Dad was a soldier, we toured many sites of interest from WWII, like Monte Cassino, the beach at Anzio, and the Canadian war cemeteries across Europe. I was incredibly blessed to learn the lessons I did from both sides of the war. Such immersive lessons were not possible in any classroom setting.
I would also like to know more about the relationship between Goering and Henkel. I saw that they were cousins. Maybe go more into Henkel as well.
This righteous man eminently deserves his vindication among men.God need not be reminded.
Hi. Would love to know about the fate of the German embassies and their employees after the war
good suggestion, i too would find that very interesting
Diplomatic immunity is diplomatic immunity. And embassies would all be in axis or neutral countries.
@@alswann2702 well, yeah, but (as I'm sure dude meant) the story of how various countries dealt with axis embassies during the prewar/early war days and the back and forth politics surrounding the whole issue would be much more complex and interesting I would think
@@ScumfuckMcDoucheface Totally right. Intrigue, spying, money exchange, lifestyle ... So very interesting.
Reinhard Heydrich, a thoroughly awful human being who made Goering look like not such a bad guy by comparison, also had a brother, Heinz, who was a decent person, and falsified documents to help a number of Jews escape. Unfortunately, his luck was even worse than Albert Goering's - he falsely believed that the Gestapo was onto him and committed suicide.
A knock and a visit from the Gestapo will make the devil 👿 Just like a knocking salesman..
@@manfredrichthofen2494 That's why we Americans own guns. Ain't no "staat sicherheit" here.
Hello, thank you for your Work.
only one small thing here: Oskar Pilzer died in 1939 in Paris. The picture you can see here must be a son of Oskar Pilzer.
post war, I'm sure Albert was a bit paranoid having such a well known name. I tell Germans living in the US that my Grandmother's maiden name was Mengel, one 'e' short of you know who. but I always get a funny look, like a Mein Gott look.
I agree the Germans that the courage to say "Nein" are not Properly acknowledge
Albert and Herman looked nothing like each other! Clearly, they were only half-brothers.
Wrong tombstone or side of that stone in 10:13?
You should do a video about the Hitlers during the war. I think one was captured by the soviets.
Pog
....?
Is this what you mean by POG? "PogChamp is a Twitch TV emote of an excited/surprised face. It's usually used when something crazy good happens unexpectedly, although it's over used so people just use it when anything mildly OK happens nowadays. Anyway that's been abbreviated to "Pog"
Poor guy did all the right things in life and got treated unfairly.
Albert was a stand up guy for sure, lol at all his antics. ...
His name precedes his reputation - Albert ( = Noble in German language).
What a shame that he was judged by his family name only instead of his selfless acts.......
I'm just reading a great book, "The Good Germans (Resisting the Nazis 1933-1945)" by Catrine Clay published in 2020. Sadly Albert is not included.
Geezer!
Herman was the good one in the sense that his incompetence in leading the luftwaffe did more good for the allies. Imagine if stalingrad was resupplied or the factories wernt pulverised by the aroyal airforce an,USAAF because fighters were produced in the early years instead of bombers
I suggest all should watch the awesome miniseries "Winds of war" and the later "war and rememberance"......
also the occult roots of the nazis has never been documented outside a few christian sources...I suggest Dave hunts "Peace prosperity and the coming holocaust"...there are also two books titled "the occult reich"
Skoda factory making bombs filled with sand? Sounds about right
the Australian 9th
I'm surprised Hermann being worth about 1 billion dollars at one time that his brother was basically skid row
I believe the allies seized the assets of all convicted war criminals
Obviously he went to Argentina
your us⚔️
Albert was not Epstien son, the dates don’t add up as their mother was in Africa for 7 months while Albert was conceived. Also they had DNA evidence (they accused him of raping a prisoner in Slovakia) which he didn’t do.

I realize you pronounce German names very well. Wahrscheinlich, Sie sprächen deutsche sehr gute. Bin ich correct ? 🤔
A brave man who got shunned by former Nazi supporters and cowards.
Hero or traitor?
a Hero
Hermann Goring was good. Albert Goring was bad
So now you decide who was good or bad? You're getting as bad as Felton
Austria was not "annexed". 99% of Austrians had voted to become a part of the German Reich and shared Hitler`s political views. Towns and villages who had reached 100% votes in favour of becoming part of the German Reich proudly presented their results When Hitler returned to Austria as the "Führer" on March 15th, 1938, he was welcomed as Austrias`s new leader. Hundredthousands lined up in the streets of Vienna to pay their respect to Hitler,. Hitler held his famous speech at the Heldenplatz and Austrians were ecstatic and cheered him on. I am the descendant of Austrian war criminals who instigated attacks on jewish citizens and made my hometown "judenrein" before the "Führer" had even arrived. I am a descendant of Shoah survivors as well. My greatgrandparents were beaten to death when they defended their little shop against looters a few days before the "Führer`s" arrival. Others were gassed in Auschwitz. My grandfather survived death camps and death marches, but murdered by a former SS guard in 1956. People still stuck to Hitler and made the ex SS guard a hero and shifted blame onto my grandfather for walking in the road side ditch but on the road side. Even today there are tons of Austrians who defend the crimes of their Nazi ancestors and blame the jews for their own extermination. The "annexation of Austria by Hitler" is a myth perpetuated by descendants of ardent Nazis who still refuse to condem the complicity of Austria.
we talk so mucho about thi germans war crimes! we wanna know the ugly true about em russias, they where horrible.
This channel has a strong anti-NS bias.
And that is good. We don‘t need Natzis because they destroyed Germany and half of Europa. They are guilty of murdering millions and the death of several relatives of mine whose graves are in Russia. They are guilty, because one of my uncles had to hite himself. He didn‘t agree with the murderes.
You’re joking right?
