Daughters
editWere Olga Therese and Paula Elisabeth really the daughters of Heinrich Görings marriage with Franziska? In the article about Hermann Göring, his sisters are said to have been from his father´s first marriage, therefore not having Franziska as their natural mother, but as their stepmother. Have a nice evening, Eva --91.17.119.168 (talk) 17:33, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Much missing Information as well as chaotic mis-editing afflicts this article
editThe present state of this article is a disaster. I don't have time to review 500+ previous versions, but after looking at just a couple from 2007-09, it's clear that much info has been lost or scrambled. Here's a version from 2009, which although sanitized (no mention of genocide) at least provides a good deal of readable, interesting and relevant info about the subject, since lost in what must be a whole series of editorial hatchet jobs: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heinrich_Ernst_G%C3%B6ring&oldid=288031134 This deserves a major ground-up rewrite by qualified people. The importance of this subject is huge, and the public awareness of it is virtually non-existent. Some pan-Africanists assert that the German colonization of what's now Namibia was a dress rehearsal for the Holocaust fifty years later; it's hardly a coincidence that H.E.G.'s son was the number two official of the Third Reich. Nor is this a mere footnote in world history; genocide of Africans and the unravelling of Africa's pre-colonial cultures, along with centuries of slavery, is one the key events of the past 500 years, and as relevant as ever. It's also interesting that H.E.G. was sent to Haiti next, since the existence of an independent nation founded by history's only victorious slave revolt was always regarded as a threat to the ideology of white supremacy—and H.E.G.'s career coincided with the rise of virulent racist ideologies (including antisemitism) in Germany, France, Britain, and the United States (as well as the concurrent Congo Free State genocide, Dreyfus Affair, Wounded Knee Massacre, etc.) Maybe there are other Wiki articles that delve into the history of genocide in German Southwest Africa, but shouldn't H.E.G.'s role in it, or his opinion about it, be included, since it's probably by far the most important aspect of his life and legacy?124.170.160.32 (talk) 23:27, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Direct Decendent of Philip Neri
edit- a direct descendant through the male line of Saint Philip Neri I removed this sentence because it is very unlikely that a pious priest as Neri has had any children. Mvdleeuw (talk) 11:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- If St. Phlip Neri was such a pious person that he could not have fathered any children. Then how could the person who removed the statement be his direct male line descendent?(Hjbois (talk) 10:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC))
- His wife was Caroline Anne Franziska Huberta de Nerée, reputed to be a descendant in the direct line from a brother of St Philip Neri.[1](Konsumtion (talk) 16:40, 10 February 2018 (UTC))
