Göring is apoplectic. He was a guest at Libertas and Harro’s wedding. He oversaw Harro’s promotion to Oberleutnant—the highest lieutenant officer rank in the Luftwaffe—and he is painfully aware that he granted Harro access to highly confidential military intelligence. An admiral who serves as one of Hitler’s aides observes that Göring feels “humiliated” by the whole ordeal. It’s beyond Göring’s comprehension that an underground resistance group in Germany includes “officers and aristocrats.” Hitler, too, is shocked that the members of this resistance group include “the elite.”
