                 1. HERMANN WILHELM GOERING
                              
For more than two decades Hermann Goering played one of the
foremost roles amongst the Nazi conspirators. He, who called
himself the most faithful paladin of the Fuehrer, was a key
figure within the conspiracy, participating in nearly all
phases of the conspiratorial activities. He took part in the
Munich Beer Hall putsch of 1923; he promoted Hitler's rise
to power in 1933; he founded the Gestapo in 1933 and the
concentration camps in 1934; and he created the German
Luftwaffe, making it an instrument for aggressive war and
using it to destroy other countries. A Plenipotentiary for
the Four-Year Plan and chairman of the Ministerial Council
for Defense, Goering became the Czar of German economy and
administration and eventually the executive manager of the
entire conspiracy.

certified by Goering and his attorney (2836-PS) is a partial
