Strange Hermann Göring Picture
Clearly, I think my confusion can be noticed; Göring is clearly wearing the uniform of an Army Field Marshal. Anyone have any info on this?

He was “General der Infanterie“ before being “General der Flieger”. One more in generals uniform and no eagle on cap/breast. https://www.team-militaria.de/Foto-Herm ... rie-SELTEN
And one more with eagles. https://www.google.dk/amp/s/www.derwest ... ervice=amp

Not so strange as when the NSDAP first came to power Germany was not allowed an AirForce under the Treaty of Versailles it would have not been possible to have a General der Flieger. As for the eagles, the Versailles allowed army did not wear them.
