Albert Göring, The Anti-Nazi Brother of Hermann Göring

As Hitler and his Nazi Party rose to power in the early 1930s’, there were many people who flocked to his cause.

He was viewed as the savior of Germany, and his ultra-nationalist movement picked up a lot of momentum in a short space of time.

There were many infamous members of the Nazi Party, such as Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich, or Joseph Goebbels.

One well-known member was Hermann Göring, head of the Luftwaffe and Hitler‘s designated successor until he was expelled from office in April 1945.

Hermann Göring had several siblings, one of which was his younger brother Albert Göring.

Albert, unlike his older brother, despised Nazism and the brutal ideals accompanying it.

Before the rise of the Nazi Party in 1933, Albert Göring lived an aristocratic life with his Jewish godfather, Ritter Hermann von Epenstein.

He was on course to live a rather unremarkable yet comfortable life as a film-maker in Germany.

Between 1933 and the outbreak of World War II, Albert Göring actively resisted the ruling Nazi regime and its ideology – especially its treatment of Jewish people.
