Hey so ya we are doing the nuremburg trials in class and im Herman Goering's defense attorney so I have been doing some research on him. During th trial he said: "Of course people don't want war. But after all, it's the leader of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, fascist Dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought back to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger." (This is an actual quote from snopes.com) Hope it helps. the nazi was killed
Hermann Wilhelm Goering was one of the head officials of Hitler, as well as his designated successor. Hitler referred to Goering as "my deputy in all my offices." He was selected by Hitler to negotiate a peace treaty when it was clear they were not going to win the war. He was later found guilty for Crimes Against Humanity in the Nuremberg Trials. He was sentenced to death by hanging, but killed himself with cyanide before the sentence was carried out.
Thats a matter of opinion. It depends on if you think it was the fault of the soldier who pulled the trigger, the officer who gave the order, or the person who had the idea in the first place and decided to follow through with it. In general, all those involved in committing a crime are guilty. The fact that a person was acting under orders doesn't excuse the action. Let's take something less emotive than killing. Consider soldiers robbing a bank under orders in enemy territory. I would have thought all involved were guilty.
Rudolf Hess travelled to England in 1941 to try to broker peace with Great Britain; he offered that Germany should withdraw from most of what was then Nazi-occupied Europe in exchange for Britain's promise to support Germany in its war against the Soviet Union. Captured by a farmhand after he parachuted into Scotland, Hess was eventually taken on Winston Churchill's orders to the Tower of London, and was kept imprisoned, first in Wales and then in Cornwall, for the remainder of the war. In 1946, he was convicted by the International Military Tribunal of crimes against peace and conspiracy with other German officials to commit crimes. Unlike his former co-conspirator Goering, however, Hess was not found guilty of war crimes or crimes against humanity, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He was held thereafter in Spandau Prison in West Berlin (eventually becoming its sole inmate after the release of Albert Speer and Baldur von Schirach in 1966), until his death on 17 August 1987 at the age of 93. He was buried at Wunsiedel, and the prison was demolished to prevent it from becoming a shrine for neo-Nazis.
Peace without victory was a peace in which the loser was not humiliated.
They are at peace.

Top officials of Nazi Germany were prosecuted at the Nuremberg Trials, including individuals such as Hermann Goring, Rudolf Hess, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. They faced charges of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes against peace.
No, Goering was never President of Germany. He was however Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, President of the Reichstag, Prime Minister of Prussia and Hitler's designated successor. But towards the end of the war Hitler started blaming Germany's losses on Goering and eventually had him arrested. Not long afterward he was captured by the Allies and tried for conspiracy to wage war, crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity. He was scheduled to be executed after the Nuremberg trials, but he committed suicide two hours before he was to be hanged in 1946.
