...simply making him a Field Marshal, today the only one in Germany on active service. So far as "impossible" wives are concerned, Göring tied the Potsdam Code into pretzel shape and swallowed it when he married an actress with what is considered in Germany to be a Jewish name (Sonnemann), although she claims to be no Jewess.
