Toward the end of World War II, there was a heated debate over how to deal with the guilty Nazis, some advocating burial alive, some advocating execution without trial, and finally U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson insisted that an open, fair, and impartial trial must be held, and the first international tribunal was born. This was the Nuremberg Trials. Among the 22 Nazi military and political leaders in the trial was hermann Wilhelm Goering, one of the notorious culprits of the Nazi war of aggression.
Hermann Wilhelm Göring was a close relative of Hitler, both as the political, economic, and military leader of France and Spain in Germany, as well as the mastermind of the slave labor program and the suppression of the killing of Jews and other races, and was named by Hitler as his political successor.
After world war II, Goering was convicted of "conspiracy", "crimes of breaching peace", "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" and sentenced to death by hanging at the Nuremberg Trials, but strangely enough, the night before his hanging on October 15, 1946, he committed suicide by poison under close guard.
At about 10:44 p.m. on October 15, 1946, Goering shook his fist, raised his arm to the same height as his face, and made a gesture as if he wanted to cover his face, and three minutes later, Goering began to make a sound similar to breathing difficulties, and the soldiers who were monitoring Goering's cell urgently called his superiors, and when the doctor arrived at the scene, Goering had lost his breath, he committed suicide by taking poison with potassium cyanide capsules, and examined the envelope bag containing four suicide notes.
Who would have thought that Goering would commit suicide by poisoning himself in a heavily guarded prison? And how do you get the poison?
Investigators found poison bottles in cream jars. This shows that Goering has been hiding poison during his detention, but the cream jar has long been confiscated and placed in the prison's storage room, not at all with Goering. It has also been speculated that the capsule containing potassium cyanide had been hidden in Goering's luggage and had been sent to prison. On February 7, 2005, herbert Lee Steves, then 19, a former prison guard, confessed to the Los Angeles Times that he had brought the poison in. Because he had always been friendly to Goering and had accepted small gifts from Goering. Another possibility is that Goering himself, without the request, entered the luggage room with The Tacit Permission of Stevens to remove the capsule himself. In 1991, Goering's nephew admitted that it was Stevens who gave the drug to Goering. But all this is just a guess.
The bodies of Goering and 11 others were cremated by the U.S. military, turned to ashes, and dumped into the river without a trace. This reminds people of the poem of the great leader Mao Zedong: If there is love in heaven, the heavens are old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes.
