Göring

Large Original-Period Portrait of Hermann Göring (Item GOR 9-2)

DESCRIPTION: This is a massive original photo of Hermann Wilhelm Göring pictured in the uniform of Reichsmarschal, the highest military rank ever used in Germany; the equivalent of a 6-star general, and this “human dynamo” deserved it as creator of the modern Luftwaffe, Head of the German Forests and Hunting, Prussian Minister of the Interior, founder of the SA, originator of the Prussian Police, and the ablest administrator that Adolf Hitler employed. “Unser Hermann” was the name given him by the German people who adored him. When the movie “Battle of Britain” was in need of someone to play Göring as sort of a buffoon, no German actor was willing to play the part. He truly was the renaissance giant; the modern Falstaff. Lavish in his attire and recreations, but also lavish in his love and service to his German people. The picture is large and it is original from the period. Göring is shown with side profile wearing the German Grand Cross (only he had it) his Pour le Mérite (Blue Max), and Knight’s Cross. The Reichsmarschal collar tabs with cross marshal batons decorate his uniform. The frame measures 32 x 76 inched. The actual photo is 23 x 18 inches. The picture was framed by the former owner with acid-free matting. Museum safety glass was added. There are some blotches on the right side, but it really does not detract from this great portrait. If you share our admiration for this adventurer extraordinaire you will have to have this dramatic photographic rendering.

PRICE: $475.00; with professional framing that cost the consigner $200

Göring

Butter Knife and Dinner Fork from Special NS Railroad Dining Car (Item GOR 9-7; GEN 12-11; AH 21-17)

DESCRIPTION: This is really a beautiful group of two railroad (Deutsches Reichsbahn) pieces of flatware. The veteran these came from said he personally looted them from the private dining car of Hermann Göring. The German National Rail System had a complete train called the Führerzug. That was the Führer Adolf Hitler’s personal train—Göring had two cars that were personally his. Instead of Hitler’s personalized formal-pattern flatware or Göring’s familiar armored arm with ring flatware the railcars for these two famous personalities had the national eagle and swastika with “DR” flanking it. This was used by both the Führer and Göring and their entourage and guests. So these two items could have been from time to time used by the Führer or the Reichsmarschal; however, the vet says that they were removed from Göring’s car. It’s not clear if they were removed from Göring’s cars or from one of Göring’s personal trains (Sonderzug). He had two of these personal trains; one was named “Der Robinson.” These pieces are considered much more rare than the formal or informal Göring or Hitler pieces that are more often seen. The fork is 8 1/4 inches long and is marked on the back with the crown, half moon, the eagle, and the ‘800’ for silver content. The butter knife measures 8 1/4 inches long also and is marked in the same way. Both pieces also are numbered ‘244’ (set placement codes for what service they are included in.) The eagle, swastika, and ‘DR’ appear at the end of each grip (raised). They are in immaculate condition.

A Twice Life Size Bust of Hermann Göring by J. Rogge (Item GOR 9-8)

DESCRIPTION: This is a grand bust of Hermann Wilhelm Göring, Reichsmarshal of Germany’s Third Reich and creator of the Reichs Luftwaffe. A man of many offices and called a “Human Dynamo” but he was adored by the German people who lovingly called him “Unser Hermann” (Our Hermann). He was ever the outgoing personality but fiercely loyal to Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP (The Party). Hermann Göring was at all times kind and gentle to animals and was the master of the hunt or Reichsjagermeister, an office created by Hitler and conferred upon the Führer's obvious successor; he also was the champion of the German common folk, but he could also be practically the Wrath of God against the enemies of the German Reich. Much has been written of him and most of it quite naturally negative by the controlled historians and the stupid liberals in the military relics field who have made a fortune selling Third Reich articles while all the time showing their revulsion for the history of the Reich offered in today’s revisionist research. But someday the truths will emerge and interested historians of the future will come to realize that constant repetition does not create truth; rather it sometimes begets closer examination by researchers with more objective goals in studying real German history and this amazing Renaissance man of our times. We have written much in other articles about H. Göring that can be seen throughout our site regarding articles that we offer that were formally his property and the way we perceive it is as long as collectors and historians will gather and appreciate these wonderful material items “Unser Hermann” will be with us. He was so brilliant a personality that he would appreciate the fact that his memory will as the song says “Bleib du im ewgen Leben! Unser Guter Kamerad”!

The Bust: The sculpture is almost twice life size and is an excellent likeness of the Reichsmarshal. It is without marble base. The veteran who sent it home removed it to lighten the load while he was still in Germany. He said it was found in an abandoned Luftwaffe air base near Frankfurt. It was in what was formally a lecture hall for air force enlisted personal and officers. The bust is in very good condition and was sculpted by Johannes Friedrich Rogge and his signature can be seen on the back of the neck. Born into a family of artists in Berlin on April 5, 1898, his father Adelbert Rogge (1861-1920) was a painter. He first studied literature and philosophy at the University of Jena, where he wrote his doctoral thesis in 1921. In 1922 he turns to painting, and then decides to devote himself to sculpture. He worked in the studio of Berlin sculptor Paul Turge till 1930. Best known for his rather progressive, but historically inspired portraits, also for bust and portraits of Clara Zetkin, Maxim Gorki, Ernst Whilmann, Wilhelm Pieck, Tomas Munzer, Heinrich Heine, Martin Thalmann, Nexo, Georg Agricola, etc. He also produced monuments after the war in honor of Lenin (Konigsee, Thuringia) and Alexander Pushkin (Weimar). Nevertheless, during the Third Reich he sculpted a magnificent bust of Hitler, and this one of Reichsmarshal Göring. Here is the chance to acquire an original bronze sculpture of Germany's “man of steel” by a major listed sculptor the opportunity may never occur again.
