About the book: 2009 / As you know, world history contains more questions than answers. World War II. Hermann Goering, Reichsmarshal of the SS, one of Hitler's closest associates, was sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials. However, on October 15, 1946, two hours before hanging, he took poison, which strangely eluded the vigilant guards. How could an escape capsule penetrate the thick prison walls? In his new novel “Valkyrie of the Reich,” Michel Gaven offers his version of what happened. “Reich Marshals are not hanged, Helene...” She understood everything. Helene Reitsch, the first woman of the Reich, fighter pilot, “blond Valkyrie”, risking her own life, gave Goering poison, saving him from a shameful death.
