The comparison was grossly inapt. Goering was an art lover.
On the other hand:
My (Jewish) father, who was born in Berlin in 1924, told the story of how not long after the Nazis took power, he was in a crowd with his father watching a Nazi motorcade pass by. When Goering drove by, all fat and adorned with too many medals, my father pointed at him and laughed loudly. My father's father promptly slapped him in the face out of concern that such obvious disrespect would draw the attention of the many armed soldiers in the area.
Cf. Bush's mouthpiece, Ari Fleischer (bad Jew), post 9/11: "People need to watch what they do, watch what they say."
