Hermann Goering was a prominent figure in Nazi Germany, whose name appears in David Irving's diaries primarily in the context of historical discussions and analysis, particularly regarding the aftermath of World War II and the narratives surrounding it. Irving seems to view Goering’s story through a lens of historical revisionism and skepticism regarding established accounts.
David Irving references Hermann Goering in the context of historical events and debates, often questioning accepted narratives surrounding his death and the circumstances of his demise. He appears to view Goering’s story as part of a broader pattern of historical obfuscation and manipulation. Irving does not appear to have had a personal relationship with Goering, but rather engages with his historical significance in his research and writing.
