Default Re: Secret Lifted Around Göring's Suicide

My first thought after reading that paragraph was that the American soldier had wanted to do the right thing by helping Göring have a decent death.

Not a chance..
Quote:
Stivers said he agreed to take "medicine" to a supposedly ailing Göring to impress a flirtatious local girl who approached him one day on the street. "I would have never knowingly taken something in that I thought was going to be used to help someone cheat the gallows," he said.
... I should have known better. The American was a retard.

Quote:
Two weeks after the delivery, on Oct. 15, 1946, Göring committed suicide and left a note bragging that he'd had a cyanide pill during his entire 11-month war crimes trial.
Admirable Göring. He dies with dignity and mockering his wannabe executioners. Bravo.
