| Description | Soon after Nazis came into power in 1933 [Hermann] Goering invited himself to lunch; very reluctantly agreed to have him come, for Mrs. Messersmith had declared she would not have a Nazi in the house; after lunch Goering said, "I want you to tell me what the Monroe Doctrine is"; started to give him some historical background, but he interrupted impatiently, "What you call the Monroe Doctrine means keeping hold and everybody else staying out --- I want you to know that everything below the Rio Grande is ours"; told him they would have to come and take it and he knew what that would mean; great rivalry between Goering and [Paul Josef] Goebbels who detested each other; [Heinrich] Himmler succeeded in wresting Gestapo from Goering's control, also incurred Goering's wrath. | en_US |
