Goering for it

Hermann Goering and Josef Goebbels were very different chaps but it is extraordinary how people still get them confused!
It was of course Goering we were quoting in Eye (28 March). Gustave Gilbert, an intelligence officer and psychologist granted access to Nuremberg prisoners, noted Goering's words in his cell on 18 April 1946 during a recess in the trials. They appeared in Nuremberg Diary, which Gilbert published. Most of you guessed correctly, but not all - Goebbels' name also cropped up.
Eye was intrigued that our production editor Jez enjoyed receiving the postcards and is planning to put the colourful ones up on the wall. On further investigation Eye learned that Jez used to belong to a 'postcard-crossing' club to satisfy his interest.
One reader reminded us that these sorts of questions are just too easy nowadays - 'half a minute on Google' does the trick. We must think up a test of memory and intelligence for you that eludes internet search engines. Now there's a challenge for us!
