| 1. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sun 16th Nov 2025. 12:41 For anybody interested in WW2 history I`d recommend this newly released film. Russell Crowe puts in a fine performance as Hermann Goring, Rami Malek likewise as the US Army psychiatrist tasked with assessing Goring`s mental competency to stand trial. There is a scene where the two confront each other in Goring`s cell - powerful stuff. Be warned - it`s 2 & 1/2 hours long and there are harrowing images of concentration camps. Reply |
| 2. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sun 16th Nov 2025. 14:08 Have read reviews of the film and it`s mostly been that it`s average or maybe a little above. A good performance from Crowe but less so from Malek. Goering is an interesting character. A grotesque individual, very intelligent and yet utterly incompetent as a military commander. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |

Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Sun 16th Nov 2025. 22:05 A great book read was Albert Speer’s autobiography regarding the Nuremberg trials and the egos on show and their interactions with each other. Goering was indeed a fascinating character who understood what ruling by fear was all about and how to achieve it. I don’t doubt many of our far right leaders today and supporters are fans of his message. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 4. Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 19th Nov 2025. 09:12 Responsibility for the Holocaust was the main plank for the Allied joint case against the principal Nazis at Nuremberg. I hadn`t fully realised that Goring`s main defence was to blame Himmler and Heydrich for the Final Solution. The chief British prosecutor present, David Maxwell Fyfe, cross examined Goring and rebuked that attempt to shift the blame to the top SS heirarchy. Speer presented a different line of defence and managed to avoid execution - although a subsequently disclosed document indicated that he was aware. Post Edited (Wed 19 Nov 19:56) Reply |
