Barbara Goette matriculated in Kassel in 1928 and began studying mathematics, physics and philosophy at Freiburg University and then Kiel where she took her state examinations in 1934-35.

[2] In September 1936 during a meeting in Berlin, the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (German Aviation Ministry) recommended reconstruction of Focke-Wulf with 50% going to the state and 50% to a large electronics concern.

An unpublished essay 'Ludwig the Philosopher' appears in the book that her son wrote with Kevin Lower as researcher and Karen Collins as main editor.

A massive dose of digitalis was allegedly injected by Hitler's henchmen into Roselius on 15 May 1943 in the Hotel Kaiserhof (Berlin) after Barbara had placed a bomb on the special Fw200 and Ludwig covered for her.

On 26 May 1944 Goette travelled to Bad Eilsen to meet with Focke-Wulf aircraft designer and engineer Professor Kurt Tank in order to obtain his written contribution for a memorial publication on Roselius' life.

Goette conducted extensive WWII correspondence with Senator Alfred Faust and in 1998 the Bremen State Archives purchased 80 original items from Ludwig Leidig in Australia.

[8] In 1944 Goette risked her life by writing the things that had infuriated Hitler in 1936 while attacking Dr. Roselius and the Böttcherstrasse at the September Nuremberg Party Rally.
