WARNING: Contains material that may be disturbing to some viewers. Summary: Hermann Goering was chosen by Hitler as his successor in the 1930s. The ambitious politician was poles apart from his co-defendant Albert Speer. Goering insisted that everything he and his co-defendants had done was the result of their German patriotism. His big personality soon assumed a domineering role over the fellow prisoners. Goering was confident and capable enough to beat the US prosecutor in the opening exchanges. Later he was cut down to size by the British prosecutor and his influence over the co-defendants waned when he was isolated from them. During the long summer months, when he had to listen to the catalogue of crimes and atrocities laid at the door of the system he had served, he became less confident. But he maintained his loyalty to Hitler until the very end, when he finally confessed to the prison psychologist his realisation that in the eyes of the German people Hitler had 'condemned himself'. Goering was found guilty and sentenced to death. He committed suicide the night before he was to be hanged, with a phial of cyanide he mysteriously obtained. (Documentary Series) (Part 2 of 3)
