National socialism works pretty well for some

Forced national socialism worked pretty well for Hermann Goering, next in line to Adolf Hitler, during the life of the Third Reich. (Left: Shots of his palatial home - 'Carinhall' - in its heyday as Goering's retreat from his taxing duties in Berlin and abroad.) Interestingly, Amb. Jos. P. Kennedy and many in Chamberlain's cabinet felt they could do business with such a moderate Nazi as Goering, who both demonstrated and pursued such liberal tastes and mores as participating in the 1923 Munich putsch with Hitler, where he was severely wounded; serving as the Minister President of Prussia; directing the Prussian State Police; assisting in the formation of the Gestapo; aiding in the assembly of documents asserting the guilt of the SA and participating in gathering names for the hit lists for the Night of the Long Knives; ordering Himmler and Heydrich to undertake the Final Solution; picking up a considerable addiction for morphine and percodan due to the number of and the intensity of his duties; designing his own and wide array of uniforms, from pure white and sky blue, to deep blue, with the brilliant trappings and its many medals of his own construction, as head of the Luftwaffe; as an avid deer hunter; and dressing up as a Roman emperor in white and deep purple togas, sporting laurel wreaths, while wearing rouge and a strong cologne of his own mixture while entertaining visiting heads of state, ambassadors, and roving dignitaries while serving as host during many lavish parties at his home.
