Hermann Göring - The Numerburg Trials - Part One

Send us a text

Hermann Göring sat in the dock at Nuremberg draped in arrogance, still convinced that history might yet bend in his favour. Our latest episode peels back the veneer of the Reichsmarschall and exposes the unsettling truth that the man who helped forge a regime of industrial murder was not a monster from myth but an ordinary human being who revelled in power, vanity, and spectacle. We walk through the trial that should have broken him, the testimony that stripped away the last illusions, and the final act—his calculated suicide—crafted as a last twisted gesture of defiance.

This is not just a story about the fall of one of the highest-ranking Nazis. It is a story about how ordinary men commit extraordinary evil, how charisma shields cruelty, and how justice can feel simultaneously triumphant and hollow. 

With a new film featuring Russell Crowe about to reignite public fascination with Nuremberg, this episode arrives at a chilling moment. The past is not as distant as we like to pretend. The echo remains… and it grows louder.
