Ernst Udet, the second-highest scoring German flying ace of World War I, played a key role with Göring in rebuilding the Luftwaffe, and rose to the rank of colonel general. He took part in the invasion of Russia, but after bitter personal disputes with his family and Göring, he committed suicide on 17 November 1941. Hitler and the top Nazi chieftains attended his funeral.
