Why was Hermann Göering not allowed to speak in the Nuremberg trials?

Göring absolutely was allowed to speak. Here he is, testifying. My mother, who has since died, was there. An eyewitness. She’s the stenotypist immediately in front and to the right of Göring. She was 28 at the time.

Any other lies you want to spread in defense of Nazis?

Not only did Göering speak as others have posted, but he used a clever trick. He would listen to the question in English, which then had to be re-asked in German. The trick (so I’ve read) is that Göering was fluent in English. He’d get to hear the question and have time to consider his answer while it was put to him again in German.
