Catalogued as "Göring at play," this print shows Hermann Göring on the Baltic shore of the Darss peninsula, a scene the album caption describes as swimming at Darss. The record dates it to August 11, 1938, and names Italo Balbo among those pictured. Taken from Göring's personal photo albums, it shows the Nazi leadership's leisure alongside its official business, which makes such candid beach scenes a useful counterpart to the formal portraits of the era. The title and identifications come from older caption data later revised, so some details remain unverified.
