Goering received us in the full splendour of his uniform, complete with all decorations. His English was, and is, very poor, so he asked me to un-interpret, the conversation.
To shine in their presence he shows off. Every one of his gestures is de- signed to impress-to display his limited power and influence.
He is always very loud, arrogant: condescending to his subalterns, jovial towards his superiors. To-day only And Hitler is in this last category. he in name but not in fact. Goering is the man in Germany to-day.

He was the most insignificant figure In the house. His behaviour and his movements were anything but, self- confident.
Particularly in Goering's presence he was completely over-shadowed. He seemed awkward and shy in the pre- sence of women, while Goering talked to them, nis hands in his trousers, poc-: kets, with an air of nonchalance and self-confidence.
Goering knew how to become and remain the centre of attraction, the axis around which the whole party in the Fuehrer's house revolved.
I stood with him, Hitler and Hess when the "Hell" calls from the crowds assembled before the house grew loud-
