Dahlerus: Writing on Oct. , , Dahlerus observed: “The Field Marshal
[Göring] can be so cool and objective, but toward the Führer’s person he i s
instinctively a boundless admirer, even when common sense might call
for a different judgment. On the one hand the Field Marshal assuredly
still wants to bring about an honorable peace, but on the other hand he
shows willing, if the Führer does not approve of this course, to subordi-
nate himself without question and perhaps without sufficient willingness
to defend objectively his own point of view as he ought, being the principal
advisor.” BA-MA, Groscurth Papers, N. / and see Darré diary, Oct. .
