The Hungarian Government bestowed its Grand Cross of the Order of Merit on Goering. To wear with his 50 different uniforms, Hermann has:

The Kaiser's Pour le Merite and Order of the Iron Cross First Class; Hitler's Grand Cross of the Order of the Iron Cross; Bulgaria's Order of St. Alexander; Yugoslavia's Order of the White Eagle; Luxembourg's Order of Adolphus of Nassau; Greece's Royal Order of the Redeemer; Italy's Order of St. Maurice & St. Lazare; Hungary's Cross of Merit; Finland's Order of the White Rose; Sweden's Grand Cross of the Order of the Sword; Denmark's Order of the Dannebrog; Japan's Grand Cordon of the Rising Sun; Franco Spain's Grand Imperial Order of the Red Arrows; Prussia's Voluntary Fire Brigade's Cross of Honor; Italy's Order of the Annunziata.
