Albert Göring was born in 1895 in Berlin. He was the fifth child in the family, the youngest of three boys. The oldest was the well-known Hermann, Hitler's close associate and head of the Luftwaffe. According to some sources, Albert was born from his mother's relationship with the Jewish Hermann von Epstein.
In 2016, his daughter reported that Epstein was indeed her father's father. Albert fought in WWI. Everything changed when Hitler came to power. His brother Hermann was already a Nazi party official and a close associate of Hitler. He then became Minister of Aviation.
But Albert hated Hitler . One of his first acts of resistance to the regime occurred when he began cleaning the street with a group of women of Jewish origin that the Assault Battalions had forced them to do in order to humiliate them.
The head rushed to arrest him but when he saw the name Göring he ordered the Jewish women to leave as he could not convince Albert, but neither could he allow his humiliation.
Through his mediation, the Jewish former employer of Oscar Pilcher, who was arrested by the regime, was also released. He then made sure to flee Pilcher and his entire family out of Germany. He did the same with other Jewish families.
Thanks to his brother he was sent to occupied Czechoslovakia and took charge of the Skoda factories. There he encouraged acts of sabotage and came into contact with the resistance. Using his brother's signature he helped many to escape or be freed.
He also made sure to take prisoners from concentration camps under the pretext of working in the factories whom he released. After the war he was summoned to the Nuremberg trials but was released as many of those he helped testified in his favor.
Now free in Germany, he felt the curse of the name he bore. He lived in poverty until 1966 and before he died he married his landlady just to get his pension. Albert Goering's activities remained unknown until around the 2000s when he was "discovered" by a British historian.
