...Grand Admiral Erich Raeder; Colonel General Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the German Armed Forces, and, most important of all, Air Minister Hermann Göring. He sported a row of shining medals on his resplendent braided uniform, and was flanked by his trusted adjutant general of fliers and ja-man, Major General Karl Bodenschatz...
