Description:

CARIN GOERING
(1888 – 1931) Swedish first wife of Reichsmarshall Hermann Göring, with whom she initially carried on a sordid affair. Goering''s hunting lodge, which became his main home, was named "Carinhall" in her honour. Very rare A.L.S. on the verso of a postcard, Stockholm, Dec. 31, 1920 to "Hauptmann Hermann Goring" in Bavaria, in Swedish. At the end of the year in which they first met, the future Mrs. Goering writes, in part: "Honey! Just now your Munich beer arrived...I know your kisses...your dear heart, I want to tell you. God be with you, my Hermann. Your longest longing, Carin..." Fine condition. The recto of the card bears an allegorical New Year''s image of three children to which Carin added a few holograph lines. Fine. Goering had met Carin perhaps only a few weeks earlier, introduced by Count Eric von Rosen who employed Goering to fly him to his castle from Stockholm.
