Hand of Goering testifies on prewar frame ups
Neumberg April 25 A German secret police official told the international military tribunal that Hermann Goering engineered frame ups in 1938 leading to the dismissal of Werner von Fritsch and Werner von Blomberg. Gisevius testified Hitler faced pressure after von Blomberg's marriage and that Goering hid information until after police files were shown. He claimed a plot to oust the Nazis grew as conspirators sought to replace Fritsch with Brauchitsch and push for action after a court exonerated Fritsch. The decision to march into Austria followed, a point Gisevius tied to Goering’s influence over the proceedings.
