Re: <<He had, you'll recall, participated with some success in getting the German people to a fever pitch for war.>>

There are two mistakes in the above statement:

1. Goering privately opposed the war thinking it was the "wrong war at the wrong time."

2. The German People at the start of WWII never got to a "fever pitch." Hitler at the time he invaded Poland sent streams of troops and tanks through the streets of Berlin... expecting the happy demonstrations with which Berliners greeted the war in 1914. Instead, the Germans were silent, worried and even a little sullen as they watched the troops.
