Publisher's Synopsis
1939 was a glorious year for Hermann Göring. He spent it entertaining dignitaries visiting the Third Reich, attending galas, going on official visits, giving rousing speeches at factories and military parades, and indulging in his love of fine art, rich cuisine and sumptuous clothes and jewels. He attained the summit of his power and popularity when Hitler, speaking to a packed Reich Chancellery on 1st September, named him his successor. This book is a photographic chronicle of Göring's momentous year, showing him at his most happy and self-confident, and equally, at his most anxious about what the future might bring.
