  • Hans Goebbels, brother of infamous Propaganda Minister Dr. Josef Goebbels, rose to significance because of his brother's success and paid the price for that association when he was captured by the Americans in April 1945.

    Another interesting relative for you: Herman Goering's brother-in-law, Count von Rosen. He was a Swedish nobleman who financed the Finnish air force when that country gained its independence following the collapse of Russia. Out of gratitude, the Finns painted von Rosen's family emblem on their planes. This emblem was a swastika, taken from ancient runic carvings on von Rosen's estate. The Finnish air force sported swastikas before the Luftwaffe did.

      @lomax343 3 года назад +53

      @Jack Tangles Of course it is - everyone knows that. BUT - it's a fairly simple geometric design, and it would be astonishing if only one person had ever come up with it. The Swedes who carved swastikas a thousand years ago knew nothing about Chinese good luck symbols, but it was from them that von Rosen - and, through him, the Finnish air force - derived their symbol.

      It's a bit of an overstatement to say that von Rosen financed the Finnish Air Force. One swallow does not a summer make: Eric von Rosen gifted _one_ plane. At the time, the Finns had a number of airplanes on order, but because of delivery problems, von Rosen's plane arrived first.
      Latvia, too, used swastikas on their warplanes. Tilted ones, too, like the Nazis.

    Josef Goebbels' stepson Harald Quant, son of Magda by a previous marriage, survived the war to inherit (with his half-brother Herbert) his father's wide-ranging business interests - which included significant stakes in Daimler-Benz and BMW. Harald died in an air crash in 1967, but the business is still extant, being worth something like seven billion Euros today.
    As an aside, the quirk of giving all their children names beginning with H probably originated with Magda Goebbels, not Josef - though the latter certainly represented it as a compliment to "Uncle Adolf."

    A small correction, if I may, Mark: My grandfather was born in Düsseldorf and worked with Gauleiter Florian (among other things, he created the stands for the Schlageter memorial celebrations).
    The building shown is not the SA Headquarters in Düsseldorf. It is a building on the grounds of the Reich exhibition "Schaffendes Volk". The exhibition was opened on May 8th (sic) 1937 by Hermann Göring. Only one "SA Sturm" (SA subdivision) and, for a time, the "Gauleitung" were housed on the site. The two huge horsmen sculpted out of granite formed the entrance to the exhibition. They are still in place today.
