Anti-Nazi activities
Albert's father is a German lawyer and diplomat, friend of Bismarck Ernst Heinrich Goering .
In March 1938 , after the annexation of Austria, Albert rescued his former Jewish boss, Oscar Pilzer, who was arrested by the Nazis, and helped him and his family leave Germany.
During the war, Albert became managing director of foreign sales at the Skoda concern. An underground circle was formed among the employees of the company, carrying out sabotage actions against the Nazis. The circle operated with the support of Albert.
In 1942, Albert Goering helped Skoda director Jan Moravek to escape with his family to Romania from the persecution of the Gestapo .
In 1942, Albert married Czech Milanda Klazarova. From the point of view of Nazism, it was a crime against the purity of the Aryan race. [1] The only daughter Elizabeth was born in the marriage, who later had two sons.
At the request of Albert, Hermann Goering contributed to granting the wife of the Austrian composer Franz Lehar , a Jewess, the status of honorary Aryan . Also among those saved by Albert Goering were the Austrian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand IV and the Austrian Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg .
There is evidence of other people assisted by Albert Goering, a total of 34 people.
In 1944, Albert was arrested by the Gestapo . German secured his release and advised his brother to stay away from politics: the next time the Reich Marshal, whose political influence was waning, could not save him.
After the war ended, Albert was arrested by the Allies, but after the testimony of his nephew Lehar, he was released in 1947 . Before his death in 1966, he worked in small posts, suffering from belonging to the family of the former Reichsmarschall.
