Re: Hermann Goering
Goering was awarded the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross by Hitler, one of the highest honors of the Third Reich. Check out this link: Grand Cross of the Iron Cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . He was also the sole recipient of a few other prestigious awards, I can't remember the names of them, but Albert Speer mentions them in his book. The highest honor Goering ever received was when he was chosen to be Hitler's successor.
Regards, Corey

Re: Hermann Goering
His second wife Emmy died in Munich in 1973. Last I heard his daughter by her, Edda, lived in South Africa. He had a stepson as well from his first wife Carin's previous marriage, Thomas von Kantzow. He died in hospital in 1973, not, as many have said by suicide.
The author Leonard Mosley, who interviewed him shortly before his death said; "Thomas was one of the saddest men I have ever met & he died a dissapointed man at the end of a ruined life".

Re: Hermann Goering
Ta Carl,
I forgot to say that Goering's 1st wife Carin, died in 1931 or '32 in Sweden I think, from heart failure due to complications arising from TB. Whichever, it was definitely before Hitler came to power.
