The hatred was mutual between the two men. Göring
called him the “fire chief” because of that helmet, and squirmed
to think that this man had sequestered all his treasures, includ-
ing, according to the inventory in the Andrus papers:
one gold Luftwaffe badge; one gold Luftwaffe badge
with diamonds; one desk watch; one traveling clock by
Movado; one large personal toilet case, one gold ciga-
rette case, inlaid with amethyst and monogrammed by
Prince Paul of Yugoslavia; one silver pill box; one gold
and velvet cigar case; one square watch by Cartier, set
with diamonds; one gold chain, gold pencil, and cut-
ter; three keys; one emerald ring; one diamond ring;
one ruby ring; four semi-precious buttons; one small
eagle with diamond clips; one diamond Luftwaffe
brooch; four cufflinks with semi-precious stones; one
gold pin (evergreen twig); one pearl stickpin; one
gold stickpin with swastika of diamond chips; one
watch fob (platinum, onyx stones, diamond, inlaid
Luftwaffe insignia); one personal seal (in silver); one
small watch set with artificial diamonds; one medal
Pour le Mérite; one Iron Cross st Class, ; one
Gross Kreuz; one gold cigarette-lighter; one wrist
watch; two old Norse collar buckles; one brass com-

one silver cigar-cutter; one brooch; one silver watch;
one set of lapis lazuli cuff buttons; one silver box,
heart-shaped; one platinum Iron Cross; one gilded
pencil; one large Swiss wristwatch; ,
Reichsmarks.*It is worth noting what became of this personal treasure trove.
The “toilet case” italicized above was back in his possession at the
end, nobody knows how. After Göring’s death, Emmy signed a
receipt still in Andrus’s private papers for Reichsmarks,
