Mention of Göring and Hitler reminds me of the comment allegedly made by Hitler at some dinner, when der dicke Hermann was seen stuffing his greedy face with Schweinehachse:
"It is true. Pigs really do eat their own".
One gets the impression that the fat Reichsmarschall Göring was probably more tolerated than trusted by Hitler.
My only acquaintance with people from that background was meeting the son of an infamous Nazi. A charming old gent, about whom the statement "Don't visit the sins of the father on the son" was never more true.
His father was a real swine though. SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, Deputy Reich-Protector of Bohemia and Moravia and one of the chief architects of the holocaust.
