German WWII fish fork, This is from the Hermann Göring Reichswerke and measures 18 cm.
History: The Reichswerke Hermann Göring was an industrial conglomerate in Nazi Germany from 1937 until 1945. It was established to extract and process domestic iron ores from Salzgitter that were deemed uneconomical by the privately held steel mills. The state owned Reichswerke was seen as a vehicle of hastening growth in ore mining and steel output regardless of private capitalists’ plans and opinions, which ran in alignment to Adolf Hitler’s strategic and economic vision. The factories were captured by the Allies after the war.
