Herman Goering WWI Photo
An interesting photo of the war hero before he became a fat, drug addicted buffoon.

I can't believe it! He actually fit into one of those? This is a completely another man.

Amazing, isn't it?

Here's another WWI era photo:

He became drug dependent (and fat) after injuries suffered in the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923.

Re: Herman Goering WWI Photo
To escape the the allied soldiers after the war he would only have to loose a couple of pounds. Nobody would recognize him.

I believe the photo that Jim posted is taken form a WWI German propoganda movie.

Actually he was detoxed during his incarceration and lost a fair bit of weight then. These are photos taken during the trial.

Evidently his performance during the trial was quite good owing to the fact that he was not then on drugs. Of course it was not good enough to get him out from under the charges.

Strange. His uniform still seems to fit.

Perhaps it was tailored.

He certainly didn't look like this:

Incidentally that's Charles Lindbergh with him in the photo above.
