• Hermann Goering and the Nazi Mind Part 2 | Nuremberg & The Final Deception | Ancient to Recent | Episode 25

  At Nuremberg in 1945, the last leaders of the Third Reich faced judgment before the world. Hermann Goering arrived determined to turn the courtroom into his personal stage, launching a defiant performance that briefly revived the shattered pride of his fellow Nazis, but could not save him from the evidence closing in around him.Psychologists Douglas Kelley and Gustave Gilbert battled to decode the “Nazi mind,” uncovering competing portraits of Goering’s vanity, charm, self-deception and ruthless ambition. Rudolf Hess descended into delusion and farce, Robert Ley hanged himself in his cell, and the remaining defendants crumbled as Allied film crews exposed the full horror of the camps.As the verdicts approached, the myth of the Reich collapsed. Goering begged for a soldier’s death, was denied, and on the eve of his execution carried out one final act of manipulation: the cyanide suicide that stole the Allies’ final justice.This episode brings the Nuremberg story to its conclusion, a sobering, intimate look at how a regime built on violence and fantasy finally met the truth.🎧 New episodes every Friday📲 Follow on Spotify, YouTube & Instagram @https://linktr.ee/ancienttorecent#NurembergTrials #HermannGoering #WorldWar2 #HolocaustHistory #NaziGermany #RudolfHess #DouglasKelley #GustaveGilbert #HistoryPodcast #AncientToRecent
