Hermann Göring: Nazi War Criminal, Drug Addict, Transvestite


A few years ago Amazon.com hosted an on-line debate with a question:
"Who was history's worst drug offender?" One posted reply named
Hermann Göring, to which I riposted:

"Göring was 'only' addicted to morphine. His boss, Adolf Hitler,
consumed a pharmacy's worth of drugs every day.

The Fuehrer's drug consumption makes Göring's seem moderate by
comparison.

Three to four time per day, Hitler received injections of dangerous
drugs and bizarre substances from his personal physician, Dr. Theodor
Morell.

The doctor's hypodermic contained amphetamines, methamphetamine,
cocaine, steroids (Hitler's volcanic temper may have been due to "roid
rage"), morphine, and barbiturates (the fatal drugs of choice of
Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland), animal placentas and cardiac
muscles, the livers and testicles of bulls, and the feces of Bulgarian
peasants.

We know the contents of Hitler's injections because Morell kept a
detailed diary that hasn't been translated into English until now. The
doctor's diary has credibility because he never intended it to be
published.

Some medical historians attribute Hitler's physical and mental
deterioration during the war to the debilitating effects of the
concoction Morell unintentionally poisoned Hitler with.

World War II on Drugs

The quacky, wacky nature of the Pharmacopaea's worth of drugs Morell
prescribed for his patient has led a minority of historians to
speculate that the doctor was a spy for the OSS, the precursor of the
CIA. The minority opinion hypothesizes that Morell's contribution to
the Allied war effort involved turning Hitler into a nonfunctioning
drug addict.

Regardless of Morell's loyalties, his drug regimen had that effect on
his patient. Midway through World War II, the Allies called off
various assassination plots because Hitler's military blunders made
him more valuable to the Allied cause alive than dead.

Göring also received morphine injections under the care of a doctor
who undoubtedly didn't dare refuse his powerful patient's demand for
drugs, regardless of their deleterious effects which also made Göring
more valuable alive than dead as far as the Allies were concerned.

Morphine had originally been prescribed for Göring as an analgesic
after he was shot by police while participating in Hitler's
unsuccessful 1923 beer hall Putsch or rebellion in Munich.

About 10 percent of patients treated with painkillers become addicted
and continue to use the drugs after the pain for which they've been
prescribed for has subsided.

Documentaries about the Third Reich offer circumstantial evidence of
opioid use whenever Göring appears on screen. Film footage and still
photos of Hitler and his henchmen usually depict them scowling and
grim-faced - except for Göring, who is usually seen beaming ear to
ear, the stereotypical jolly fat man.

The once lean flying ace of World War I turned into a voluptuary fond
of fine wine and good food. His expanding waistline seemed to grow at
the same rate as Germany's expanding borders after its invasions of
Poland and France.

But it was more than military triumphs that made Göring grin. Morphine
is a chemical cousin of heroin and both are derived from opium. The
same look of ecstasy on Göring's face in newsreels can be seen on any
street junkie who has just shot up.

Göring was high and happy as he smiled his way through the
annihilation of European Jewry and the destruction of European cities.
He could be surprisingly empathetic toward fellow pain-sufferers.

When a woman's dress caught on fire at a Munich nightclub in the
1920s, the Bad Samaritan injected the woman with morphine to alleviate
her pain. The injection left a scar, and the woman sued Göring.



Albert Speer, Hitler's armaments and war production minister

In Inside the Third Reich, the memoirs of Nazi Germany's minister of
armaments and war production, Albert Speer claimed that the Gestapo
was blackmailing Göring because it had proof of his dependence on
morphine. That seems unlikely, since Göring's drug use was one of the
worst-kept secrets in the Third Reich.

Field Marshal Erhard Milch, an ally of Speer, suggested he look at
Göring's pupils, which shrank due to drug use. Göring's behavior
reflected the typical trajectory of a drug trip: euphoria and energy
followed by depression and listlessness as the drug leaves the body.

Once, after he had screamed at Speer and other high-ranking Nazis for
two hours, his demeanor abruptly changed. His speech slowed and grew
slurred as his mind wandered. Finally, he fell asleep in the presence
of the Nazi bigwigs. When he woke up two hours later, he announced
that the meeting was over and dismissed his guests.

The effects of Göring's morphine addiction contributed to his
ballooning waistline and his disastrous deployment of the Luftwaffe,
which he was in charge of. Early in the war, the German Air Force had
bombed most of Europe into submission only to lose air superiority to
the Allies midway through the conflict.

Drug addiction is a progressive disease, which means it only gets
worse without treatment. Addiction never goes into remission
spontaneously. For a while, as Reichsmarschall and second in command
in Nazi Germany, Göring had been an effective military leader.

But by war's end the Luftwaffe chief had degenerated into a
nonfunctioning drug addict, openly despised by his abstemious,
teetotaler boss Hitler, who was unaware of his own drug addiction.

In the last weeks of the war, Hitler expressed his contempt for Göring
to Albert Speer: "Göring is lazy. He let the air force go to pot.
Besides, he's been a drug addict for years. I've known it all long."

Göring's behavior was typical of many addicts: At first, painkillers
allow the user to function even more effectively than before drug
consumption began. But after this honeymoon phase of hyper
productivity ends, it's replaced by an increasing deterioration in the
ability to function.

The Luftwaffe's initial air superiority allowed German aircraft to
bomb enemy nations into submission. But after losing the battle in the
air, the German Air Force was unable to stop Allied air raids that
reduced German cities to the endless ruins depicted in post-war
newsreels.

The U.S. and Britain fire-bombed Germany back into the Stone Age.
After the war, the firebombing of civilian targets was considered
unnecessary, even a war crime by some, but the victors are never put
on trial.

More than 40,000 British civilians had died in the Blitz of 1940-1941.
More German bombs fell on population centers than on munitions
factories and other military targets, despite the superior strategic
value of taking out troops and impeding weapon production.

Hitler, also impaired by drugs, agreed with Göring's disastrous choice
of civilian targets which contributed to Germany's defeat. The
influence of alcoholism and drug addiction on events of the past is
often ignored or mentioned only in passing by historians.

World War II in Drag

Göring engaged in other aberrant behavior that apparently the Gestapo
didn't think of using to blackmail him. Visiting generals at Göring's
palatial hunting lodge in suburban Berlin were shocked by their host's
appearance.

The second most powerful man in the Third Reich greeted guests wearing
a kimono, rouge, lipstick, pancake makeup, lacquered fingernail
polish, and women's jewelry while padding about in pink, fur-lined
bunny slippers.

A Report on the Banality of Evil, the subtitle of Hannah Arendt's book
about Adolf Eichmann's trial in Israel in 1961, comes to mind when
Göring's concept of casual dress is described.

Although many Nazis were gay, especially the purged Storm Troopers,
Göring was a heterosexual transvestite who married twice, fathered a
daughter, and had numerous extramarital affairs - with women.

Göring's custom of painting his finger nails continued in prison
during his post-war trial at Nuremberg until the martinet American
warden ordered his prisoner to remove the polish..

Prior to Germany's defeat, Göring's decadent lifestyle and
incapacitating drug use were noted by his ally, SS chief Heinrich
Himmler. When Speer tried to enlist Göring's support in a power
struggle against Hitler's private secretary, Martin Bormann, Himmler
told Speer not to waste his time. "I think it would very unwise of you
to try to activate the Reichsmarschall again!"

Speer agreed with Himmler's assessment and realized that Göring had
become useless as an ally among the bickering rivals who comprised
Hitler's entourage. After his unsuccessful attempt to form an alliance
with Göring, Speer wrote in his memoirs, "Göring had relapsed into his
lethargy, and for good. He did not wake up again until he was on trial
in Nuremberg."

The prison in Nuremberg where top Nazis were held during their trial
for war crimes turned out to be a health spa of sorts for the
corpulent, drug-addled former Luftwaffe chief.

The American warden of the prison, Col. Robert C. Andrus, was a
martinet unimpressed with Göring's previous position which had
prompted Gen. George S. Patton to have a much-criticized champagne
breakfast with the fallen Nazi leader that made banner headlines
around the world.

Andrus put his obese prisoner on a diet and weaned him off morphine.
The prison regimen had dramatic, visible results. By the end of his
trial in 1946, Göring had shrunk to a fraction of his war-time girth.

Drug-free, he began to demonstrate the energy and competence that had
made him the second most powerful man in Germany and Hitler's official
successor.

In Inside the Third Reich, Albert Speer, Göring's codefendant and
prison mate at Nuremberg, described the mental transformation of the
Luftwaffe chief:

"At Nuremberg, Göring had undergone a systematic withdrawal cure which
had ended his drug addiction. Ever since, he was in better form than I
had ever seen him. He displayed remarkable energy and became the most
formidable personality among the defendants."



Hitler's economics minister, Hjalmar Schacht, had the highest IQ among
the Nazi leadership.

A prison psychologist confirmed Göring's squandered potential by
administering an IQ test to all of the prisoners. Göring's score of
138 was only two points below genius level and the second highest of
all the defendants. The smartest prisoner was Hitler's one-time
economics minister, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, who held a doctoral degree.

No longer drug-impaired, Göring mounted a powerful defense during his
trial and delusionally thought he would be acquitted of war crimes.
But the court found him guilty and sentenced him to be hanged.

The condemned's request for execution by firing squad - a death
befitting a military officer - was refused. But two hours before his
sentence was to be carried out, Göring cheated the hangman by
swallowing a capsule of potassium cyanide he had secreted inside a
bottle of skin cream prescribed for his dermatitis.

Ironically, potassium cyanide was the active ingredient in Zyklon B,
the insecticide that gassed six million Jews and other victims of the
Holocaust.

It was a myth that the corpses of the hanged Nazi leaders were
cremated at Auschwitz because the death camp's crematoria had been
blown up near war's end in a feckless effort to conceal evidence of
the Holocaust.

All of the executed Nuremberg defendants were cremated at a cemetery
in Munich and their ashes thrown into the nearby Isar River.
