Description
The Nazi and the Psychiatrist: Hermann Göring, Dr. Douglas M. Kelley, and a Fatal Meeting of Minds at the End of WWII
In 1945, after his capture at the end of the Second World War, Hermann Göring arrived at an American-run detention center in Luxembourg, accompanied by sixteen suitcases and a red hatbox. The suitcases contained a range of personal items, including medals, gems, and cash, as well as a set of brass vials with a clear liquid and a white precipitate.
As part of the US army's efforts to ensure the villainous captives were fit for trial at Nuremberg, an ambitious army psychiatrist, Captain Douglas M. Kelley, was sent to supervise their mental well-being during their detention. Kelley's investigation into the psychological differences between the Nazi captives, including Göring, led to a remarkable and complex relationship between Kelley and his subjects.
