Hi,
I have a question for Rob Morris. It may seem weird, but I was wondering if you know if he went to Canada after the war?

Thanks!

PS I”m triyng to find your book in Quebec but it”s not easy!

Hi,John. This is Rob Morris, the author of Untold Valor.
I would be happy to entertain any questions you or your readers may have.
As far as I know, both Mr. Rencher and Mr. Goering are still alive. I spoke with Mr. Rencher only a few months ago.
There is more to the story, but I am sworn to secrecy until the deaths of both Mr. Goering and Mr. Rencher, both of whom I interviewed.
By the way, my book was picked up by a large publisher, and re-named 'Untold Valor: Forgotten Stories of American Bomber Crews over Europe'. The old edition you mention is no longer in print, but the new one can be picked up on Amazon or any online bookseller. It has been one of the top selling aviation books for the past year.
Sincerely,
Rob Morris

I used to live in a ward with a man who was a missionary in Germany at the time the Nazis took over. He said the Goering family relationship gave them some protection until it was clear that it no longer possible or safe for the missionaries to stay. He told some very interesting stories of his missionary experiences during that time.

Thanks John,
This was very interesting. From this I would guess he was likely a Mormon – did it mention where Goering lived after the war?

Should I forward this to Mike Huckabee? It seems like the kind of thing he may take a shallow interest in.

Interesting stuff, John M. To get a fascinating picture of Hermann Goering, I can recommend “Nuremberg,” starring Alec Baldwin and Brian Cox as Goering. (Cox plays the bad CIA guy in two of the Bourne movies and is really quite charismatic and frightening as Goering). I wonder if any of the Goering descendants are still active, and perhaps some of them are even reading this blog?
