Its been said that Goering's life was saved in the air on several occasions by Rosenstein. What an irony.
chromium2007,

You got that right! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black - good gravy, that must have hurt Goering something terrible, to somehow adimit that Perhaps Rosenstein, might have saved his life on occasions. What would uncle Adolph have done, without his # 1 boy.

Good quip though.
