David how did you know!!! I have been doing research into his model railroad.
He had a switch on the control panel, that sent a scale model Stuka along a wire, and it was timed to release two tiny wooden bombs on a passing train!
This guy was 8) , that is why I have studied him so much over the years.
Regards,Bill.

Seriously Bill? If he did, he wins points from me, since that's what I would have had! Goering was an interesting person. One wonders what the Third Reich would have been like if the rest of the leadership shared his zest for life's luxuries. Ascetics like Hitler and Himmler would not have thought of such things.David how did you know!!! I have been doing research into his model railroad.
