misiu Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Hello, found this picture of Göring's medals. Can someone tell me where this picture might have been taken? Thanks Detlef
James Clark Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 This is part of the Eric Campion collection on display in the RAF Museum in Hendon, near London. James
Claudius Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) missing a Kaiserreich Abzeichen für Militär-Flugzeugführer. Edited July 15, 2014 by Claudius
Alex K Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) As James has said, on display at the RAF museum, Hendon complete with a "Stuffed" Goring, it's been concluded on another forum that the uniform, GK, RK, PLM and Goring are all fakes, the medals posted in the case would appear to be genuine Edited July 15, 2014 by Alex K
utopis Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 There is a mistake with the medals in post #1. On the top right they put the breast star of the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Order of St. Stephan. The breast star that belongs to the sash badge should instead be the Hungarian Order of Merit with Holy Crown and Swords.
922F Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Remember that Regent of Hungary, Miklos Horthy, revived the Order of St. Stephan in 1938 and appointed a number of men to the Order. These included leading Hungarians [Cardinal Seredi and Prime Minister Teleki de Szek & Horthy himself plus perhaps a few others], Goring, Ribbontrop, supposedly Marshal Antonescu, and maybe others to the Order. Perhaps the display includes the award to Goring or a representation of it. Edited July 16, 2014 by 922F
