                  This are not his wartime awards, the KC is an Souval Knight Cross.

                    Yes, I was told today about it. Thanks anyway for the correction

                    Those were replacement awards.

                            Great quality image taken from a wartime footage; it shows some awards and decorations of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring.

                            We can see his Grand Cross of the Iron Cross (19.08.1940) and his Knight's Cross (30.09.1939).
