I heard of a picture of Goering drinking cola once but never seeing it, perhaps someone could post it?

At the Reich "Schaffendes Volk" ("Working People") Exhibition celebrating the German worker under Hitler, Prendergrast describes "A functioning bottling plant, with a miniature train carting Kinder beneath, bottled Coca-Cola at the very centre of the fair, adjacent to the Propaganda Office. Touring the Dusseldorf fair, Hermann Goering paused for a Coke, and an alert Company photographer snapped a picture. though no such picture documented the Fuhrer's tastes, Hitler reputedly enjoyed Coca Cola too, sipping the Atlanta drink as he watched Gone With The Wind in his private theatre."

The photo is unknown to me, sorry...

There IS a photo, Hermann Göring sipping on a glas of Coca-Cola, at this du(e)sselfdorf (Düsseldorf) fair (german: Messe/Ausstellung).

It was not Düsseldorf, this shot was taken at a fair in the town Essen, 1941.

Came across this...It could stand to reason that maybe Goring made this when he was in prison?
