Hermann Goering, dope addict.

"In Sweden, where he worked for an aviation company (1925-1926), he was shut up in the insane hospital at Langbro, removed thence to Konradsberg, and thence back to Langbro. There his fits were so violent that he was transferred to the section for dangerous madmen. Finally, the Nazi biographers fail to mention that the man to whom they have intrusted the tutelage of 60,000,000 Germans was declared, by the tribunal which gave him his divorce, incapable of caring for his own son."
