...insanity, then into Scotland, now broods his life away as a British captive. Göring has receded into obscurity, although he is still titular chief of the Luftwaffe. Many Gauleiter who used to hang on Göring's coattails have switched their allegiance to Himmler. The Gestapoman showed his contempt for Göring by impressing large clumps of air-force personnel into the SS and Volksgrenadiere. Göring is said to have taken up his old drug habit once more...
