Can you help me find the source for this quotation:  "Hermann Goering
was a fat hot air balloon tethered by his ego to Adolph Hitler"

I may not have the EXACT wording; the actual quotation may be some
variant of the above.

Thanks,

Mike Scott

Just a guess, that it sounds like Albert Speer. "Hitler's architect"
spent the remainder of his life apologizing for his involvement and
finding sarcastic remarks about fellow Nazi's satisfying. Goering and
Speer were in conflict over Hitler's admiration.

Yes, it does.  Speer wrote his autobiography when in prison: 
Spandauer Tagebuch, and maybe an earlier work.  My amateurish searches
to find the quotation in German were unsuccessful  - which doesn't
mean much.

Good friends,

Thank you for the tip.  Speer would makes sense and I'll see what I
can dredge up.  I very much appreciate the tip.
