Goering's great-granddaughter: 'The AfD shows parallels with Nazism' - News.com.au. Bettina Goering, great- granddaughter of Hermann, Adolf Hitler's main lieutenant, issued a warning against the AfD.

She said she saw parallels with the Weimar Republic, the one that preceded the advent of Nazism in 1933. Goering's descendant said: "I see the same playbook," the same sequence of plans as the party harks back to the National Socialists' strategies for the mass expulsion of minorities.
