Goring's Surrender & His Adjutants

[JasonA]

Hello photo enthusiasts!

I am starting a research project, and am wondering if anybody has copies of, or access to, a photo run of Goring's surrender to U.S. forces on May 7, 1945. I'm trying to find photos of the adjutants who were with him at the time. Initial research shows that he had six aides among his surrendering entourage, including:

Oberst Bernd von Brauchitsch
Oberst Werner Teske
Major Auter
Major Mühr
Major Nuelle
Hauptman Klaas

I've included a photo of Oberst von Brauchitsch with Goring, one of a few published in Brian Davis' Luftwaffe volumes. The second photo is one of Goring on what appears to be a subsequent day, sitting down with U.S. forces.

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jason

I have seen videos of the events pictured in your post on You Tube. Perhaps watching the video frame by frame would help you. Just do a search while on You Tube for Goring Surrender and you should see the videos.

Hi there,

Thank you for your reply. I couldn't find anything on YouTube. There is plenty of footage of Goring being interviewed by the Allied Press Corps, but only seconds of footage of his actual surrender day. The brief footage shows a glimpse of the same Luftwaffe officer as the photo below, but none of the others.

If there's something I'm missing, please send me a link.

Anybody else? Any other ideas?

Cheers

May I suggest you to get a copy of " After the Battle" magazine issue 44 ,1984 in which there is a complete storey of about Goring's Capture, His Suicide and His Military Memorabilia.

Perhaps you could try contacting the Administration at Schloss Fischorn - maybe they would be helpful? The schloss is privately owned, but the family takes great interest in historical research of the estate . . . I'm not sure how much they will divulge regarding this period of the estate's history, but they are very nice people, and you never know . . .

And you could do what I did - try to track down a fellow named Horst Scholz. I was told he is very knowledgeful on the subject, but I did not have any luck locating him when I last visited Fischorn . . . The AHF has some good tidbits about the surrender - do a "SEARCH" on the site, and to start off, you can read more here:

Good luck in your quest . . . I've been seeking similar photographic images as well, and I too find the story of the surrender fascinating . . . I will certainly be looking forward to reading more about any future developments in your search! Here is a small photo of the schloss - it's a really cool estate, and the Medem family seem to be doing a wonderful job of restoration . . .

Thank you so much for the info. on Schloss Fischorn. I appreciate it. I will reach out to them.

I have also seen that article on the AHF, which is where I got the names of the aides present. I should reach out that guy directly. Given the research he's already done, he may have a plethora of photos.

Cheers
