Many are wondering how Jeffrey Epstein could have committed suicide in jail when he was supposed to under surveillance. This isn’t the first time a high-profile prisoner was able to escape justice by checking themselves out. Author AK Patch is going to take us back to WW2 and discuss the still unsolved suicide of Hitler’s Reich Marshall Hermann Goering in 1946. Tell us about Hermann Goering? The second in command to Hitler, Goering became famous as a WW1 fighter ace, taking over Baron Von Richthofen’s famous “Flying Circus” unit after the Bloody Red Baron was killed in combat.
