LOL! Good one.

And Goering said if Berlin was ever bombed, he change his name to a Jewish name.

I didn’t know Goebbels had club feet.

Meyer....Goering said he would change his name to Meyer.

Goering’s father was governor general of German South West Africa colony.

Per Wikipedia:
Göring’s first action was to gain a ‘protection treaty’ with the leading Herero chief, Maharero. The treaty of protection wasn’t worth the paper it was written on, as Göring was in no position to offer assistance. Repeated, successful armed attacks by the Nama clan of Hendrik Witbooi proved the point. The treaty was torn up a few years later anyway by Mahrero, who also expelled Göring from Hereroland: the behaviour of the Germans had become too much and, worst of all, Göring had—perhaps unwittingly—extended his house on top of a Herero ancestral graveyard. The gold rush was a hoax, however, for the purported gold deposits were nothing apart from the remains of gold pieces fired at a rock face. The identity of the hoaxer remains a mystery, but suspicion falls on Göring making a last-ditch, desperate attempt to bring investment into the protectorate, and thus save his failing mission.
