The younger brother of senior Nazi Hermann Goering could be honoured for risking his life to save Jews during the Holocaust. 

Albert Goering, a German businessman who died in 1966, is believed to have saved hundreds of Jews and political dissidents by petitioning to have them released or securing exit permits from concentration camps.

A file is being prepared at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial and research centre in Israel, to put him forward for the Righteous Among the Nations award.

Others to have been given the honour include Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist who is believed to have saved more than 1,200 Jews during the Second World War by employing them in his factories.

Irena Steinfeldt, director of the Righteous Among The Nations department at Yad Vashem, is carrying out research into the actions of Albert Goering.

According to William Hastings Burke's book about the case, Thirty Four, he was a defiant anti-Nazi who smuggled Jews across the borders, funneled aid to refugees across Europe and did everything in his power to undermine his brother's regime.

Yad Vashem is examining evidence including testimony from US interrogators, Gestapo reports and statements from people he rescued.

On one occasion he is said to have asked for the release of a doctor called Dachau, but confusion resulted in two men with the same surname being set free.

During the war he worked as export director of the Skoda Works in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. At the time it was a major arms manufacturer.

At the end of the war, he spent two years in prison as he tried to convince the Allies of his innocence.
