“Reich Marshall Hermann Goering, No. 2 Nazi, wanted by civilization as directly responsible for the torture and death of millions innocent men, women and children, is well and not unhappy…Goering seemed delighted with his captivity and appeared unaware that he may be tried as a major war criminal.”
Here is a W.W. II gag cartoon by the Czech chuckle-meister himself, W.

An interesting article is attached herein that originally appeared in a 1946 issue of COLLIER’S MAGAZINE recalling the last days of the once fair-haired boy of the Third Reich, Herman Göering (1893 – 1946). Filed from the U.S. Army interrogation center at the Ashcan (nom de guerre for the Palace Hotel in Fromburg, Luxemburg) you’ll get a sense as to how the fallen Luftwaffe Reichsmarshal, formerly so over-plumed and perfumed, paraded and posed for both his jailers and his fellow inmates while awaiting trial. A good read.

The journalist who penned the attached article was in the dark as to the reasons why Reichsmarshal Herman Goring appeared in Rome during the opening weeks of January, 1937, but he wisely presumed that it had something to do with the Spanish Civil War – and he was right.
A remarkable 1948 photo essay from the pages of the defunct weekly SEE MAGAZINE illustrating the bullet-proof, 2-door, 4 passenger, Mercedes convertible roadster that was previously owned by Nazi Field Marshal Hermann Göering (1893 – 1946). The car was purchased by the Danish industrialist Svend Vestergaard:
Vestergaard purchased the 8-cylinder, 240 h.p., under-slung speedster from British occupation authorities…The car was especially built according to the ostentatious Number 2 Nazi’s exacting specifications, the German-made product of Stuttgart’s famed Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft is 11 feet long, weighs three truck-like tons,[and] has six forward speeds.

The journalist explained quite clearly for his American readers who exactly Hermann Goering was, his shameless looting in all Nazi-occupied zones and the goings-on within Goering Works, the German re-armament trust.

Gross Goering has stopped at nothing, not even murder, to enrich himself and insure his future comfort, whether the Nazi regime stands or falls.
