Hermann Goering and the Nazi Mind | How the Nazis Were Captured, Studied & Prepared for Nuremberg | Ancient to Recent | Episode 24

In 1945, the Allies seized the top surviving Nazi leaders and locked them inside a secret U.S. prison known as Ashcan. At the center of it all was Hermann Göring, Reichsmarschall, head of the Luftwaffe, Hitler’s chosen successor, and the highest-ranking Nazi to face justice.


Inside Mondorf-les-Bains, a young U.S. Army psychiatrist, Dr. Douglas Kelley, began a groundbreaking mission: to uncover the psychology behind the men responsible for World War II, the Holocaust, and the machinery of genocide.


In this episode, Joseph Parkinson explores:

Göring’s dramatic capture and delusions of grandeur

Life inside Ashcan: barbed wire, constant surveillance, and collapsed Nazi egos
Kelley’s early interviews, Rorschach tests, and attempts to decode the “Nazi mind”
Shocking revelations about Göring’s drug addiction, vanity, charm and ruthlessness

How the Allies prepared the world for the Nuremberg Trials, the most important trial in modern history

This episode reveals the strange, chilling intimacy between a doctor seeking answers and a criminal convinced of his own greatness.
