I could see Hermine Göring as being someone who was, as a result of the far different end to the war and absolute absence of the infamous Beer Hall Putsch (which IRL led to Göring being injured and developing an addiction to morphine), remembered as an influential if slightly controversial figure. The former for her part in guiding the evolution of the Luftstreitkräfte into the modern Luftwaffe (sort of Karlsland's version of Billy Mitchell), but the latter due to her bravado and vanity causing her superiors no end of headaches. They wanted to use the Curse as an excuse to kick her out, but the potential scandal of cashiering an ace witch has led them to do what all services do with millstones: stick her in some obscure ceremonial post, a "reward" for her years of service and a plum position to spend her retirement years in.

You can almost picture her there, coming to her office every day with boasts about how "important" she is to the service, while her long-suffering aid nods along and wonders which gods she angered to deserve such punishment.
