Wikipedia spells it Goring...

(And a quick search shows both "Herman" and "Hermann")

I would have been more inclined to believe Goering's WW I carry pistol, whatever it might have been...{Flashback to "Flyboys", where the hero shoots down the Black Falcon with a French revolver)...

So...Since Goering was a WW I "ace", what would he have carried as a sidearm??? In his flying/WW I days...
