I don't get it.
Hermann Wilhelm Göring (12 January 1893 – 15 October 1946) a German was a German politician, military leader, and convicted war criminal. He was one of the most powerful figures in the Nazi Party, which governed Germany from 1933 to 1945.
Göring was found guilty on all four counts (war crimes) and was sentenced to death by hanging. The judgment stated:
There is nothing to be said in mitigation. For Göring was often, indeed almost always, the moving force, second only to his leader. He was the leading war aggressor, both as political and as military leader; he was the director of the slave labour programme and the creator of the oppressive programme against the Jews and other races, at home and abroad. All of these crimes he has frankly admitted. On some specific cases there may be conflict of testimony, but in terms of the broad outline, his own admissions are more than sufficiently wide to be conclusive of his guilt. His guilt is unique in its enormity. The record discloses no excuses for this man.[158]
Göring made an appeal asking to be shot as a soldier instead of hanged as a common criminal, but the court refused.[159] He committed suicide with a potassium cyanide capsule the night before he was to be hanged

@George-K Ahhh thanks!! I knew of Herman Goring, but did not see the name of the pole vaulter. Seeing that makes it funnier.
