Goering, “Peter” Hermann Ludwig.

Goering, “Peter” Hermann Ludwig, born 14-04-1922 in Weissenfels, the son of Ilse Johanna Luise Katharina Ada Goering and Karl Ernst Goering, a brother of Hermann Goering. He had brothers Helmut Friedrich Wilhelm Goering, who died age 18 in 1942 and Heinrich Otto Goering. Karl Ernst Goering died 04-10-1932, age 47, in Hanover and had one son Werner G Goering in the USA. Werner G Goering would join the US Air Force in the war against Germany Then Ilse married  the Korvettenkapitän Otto Burchard (1865–1904) Ilse died in 1972, age 73. Peter was a leutnant of the Luftwaffe and Hermann Goering‘s (did you know) favorite nephew. Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering Commander in Chief of the Nazi German Luftwaffe. Peter was a long time the wingman of General der Flieger, Adolf  “Dolfo” Galland (Wilhelm) in many air fights.

   Hermann’s brother Albert, his uncle, an antithesis, a Holocaust hero who devoted himself to saving hundreds of Jews (see Anne Frank) and (see Simon Wiesenthal) and political dissidents, persecuted by the very regime his brother had helped to forge.

     In 1944, a death warrant hung over ­Albert, demanding his execution on sight. He was on the run, hiding in Prague. Hermann dropped everything to save him. “My brother told me then that it was the last time that he could help me, that his position [had] also been shaken, and that he had to ask SS Reichsführer, Heinrich Himmler  personally to smooth over the entire matter,” Albert testified in Nuremberg. However, many of the people whom he had helped testified on his behalf, and he was released. Soon afterwards, Goering was arrested by the Czechs but was once again freed when the full extent of his activities became known. Albert Goering then returned to Germany but found himself shunned because of his family name. He found occasional work as a writer and translator, living in a modest flat far from the baronial splendour of his childhood. Before his death Goering was living on a pension from the government. He knew that if he was married, the pension would transfer to his wife after his death. As a sign of gratitude, in 1966 Goering married his housekeeper so she could receive his pension. One week later, he died without having his wartime activities publicly acknowledged. In 2010 Edda Goering , the daughter of Hermann, said of Albert Goering in an article in The Guardian: He could certainly help people in need himself financially and with his personal influence, but, as soon as it was necessary to involve higher authority or officials, then he had to have the support of my father, which he did get.
