The use of video footage really helps my research work, a lot!

I've found this photo while searching in Hermann-Historica: you can see RM Hermann Göring and Generaloberst Udet, among items belonging to Göring. His daily baton, shoulder boards and some sort of Sword...

Any ideas?

The Batons from Kaiser Wilhelm II

Hello

A few days ago , I visited ''Huis Doorn'' where most of the stuff is from Kaiser Wilhelm II , since he fled to Holland in 1918 , he came with almost 60 train loads full of belongings , he lived there until his death in 1941.
The remains of the Kaiser are also there in a mausoleum .
The Dutch gouvernement confiscated everyting in 1945 , the house is now a museum .
For me it was the first time , to visit it , it was fantastic what they had on display , about 20% of the things from the Kaiser is shown , the rest is in storage .
Here is the website from the museum
http://www.huisdoorn.nl/eng/
The museum is going to bad times at the moment , because the subsidy will be cut by 50% , so maybe in the near future it will be closed for the public
Years ago they sold his Mercedes-Benz 770 limousine to the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart , because they needed the money to stay open , this was the car that was used for his State funeral .
Maybe I will make a separate thread about my trip with his other stuff , like uniforms , furniture etc.

Here is what I think could be of interest for this thread , his batons .

First two daily batons


This baton he received for his grandmother's Queen Victoria funeral arrangements in London




Two more daily batons
