This decorated WW1 pilot ace had sympathies for the Nazi cause, and there are allegations that Hermann Göring wanted him to be a part of the Luftwaffe structure. However, due to Udet's mental issues and addictions, he never got appointed. In the end, he apparently committed suicide in 1937, although there are theories that this was staged. It was known he really appreciated the idea of the dive bomber. How central would this concept be to a Luftwaffe where he has a high-ranking position?
