Werner Göring captured

One of his relatives, von Rosen, tried joining RAF but was turned down, ironicly because he was related to Göring. Von Rosen later ended up Germany, and where taken to Göring. A yell-fest followed but it ended when he pointed out he was minding his own buissness when German forces attacked his wifes country, what where he supposed to do?

(The relative went on to fly in the Ethiopian and Biafran airforce.)

During World War II, Werner G. Goering piloted B-17 Flying Fortresses on 48 bombing missions against occupied Europe.

Werner Goering was born and raised in Salt Lake City. The young Goering spoke fluent German. After an extensive background check, he was assigned to the 303rd Bombardment Group -- Hell's Angels -- of the 8th Air Force, based at Molesworth, England.[1] This fact was kept secret by the USAAF during the time that young Goering flew missions against Nazi Germany. However, the AAF still assigned him a "uniquely qualified" co-pilot—First Lt. Jack P. Rencher. Rencher was given orders to shoot him if he ever tried to land in Germany

What the fuck?

Was this done for propaganda?

I know Hitler's nephew migrated to American and was inducted into the USN--presumably so he wouldn't be sent near Germany.

This Goering story is bizarre.
