He joined the [[Nazi]] Party in 1923 and participated in the [[Beer Hall Putsch]] with [[Adolf Hitler]]. Following the failure of the attempted coup he fled to [[Sweden]], returning to [[Germany]] in 1927 under amnesty. He was elected to the [[Reichstag]] in 1928 and became its President on 30 August 1932. Goering founded the [[Gestapo]], was in command of the German Air Force (''[[Luftwaffe]]'') during [[World War II]], and was in charge of the [[Four Year Plan]].  In one of the biggest blunders of the war, Goering convinced Hitler not to advance on the trapped allied forces at the [[Battle of Dunkirk]] because he wanted the airforce to share in the glory of their destruction.  Most of the trapped forces were taken aboard ships to England to fight another day.

In the final days of the war [[Martin Borman]] convinced Hitler to remove him from power. He later surrended to the Allies and was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death at the [[Nuremberg Trials]]. Hours before his execution he committed suicide by [[cyanide]], an embarrassment to his captors.
