(Note this is a humor thread about Goering and not a research one.)
Here is the story of Hermann Goering. When a young man, he was one of the dashing aces of Germany and a holder of the Pour Le Merite, and at his thinnest. Old Uncle Hermann must have been living in a different dimension back in those old days.
However when older and a Reichsmarschall, old Uncle Hermann fell into the Nero style of good food and wine. However instead of a fire in Rome, a gigantic Bulk was created.
Even at his attempted best at a portrait, he simply did not live up to the standards of the old days. How many medals he wore on his uniform can simply not be estimated as the number goes beyond calculation. He even had plastic replicas made so that he could swim around with them in his giant bathtub.
As can be seen after the war, he lost a lot of weight, with the help of his American business friends wearing Khaki tuxedos and white solid bowler hats who introduced an excellent diet which he enjoyed thoroughly better than his big feasts at Karinhall. Here is an interesting color photograph of Goering giving a speech to his American friends on how best to loot art.
His loss of weight also had something to do with his missing of his toy trains and beloved lion.
