The material published, bringing the readers an interview with the Reichsmarschall, Hermann Göring, carried out on 25 July 1945 by the American investigator – member of the Historical Division in the POW Camp No. 32 in Luxembourg, contains a number of interesting information on the German military strategy during the fi rst years of the World War. H. Göring, as one of the most infl uential men of the Nazi Germany, had direct knowledge on most of the events and also actively participated in many meetings, discussions or planning sessions. The interview is divided in four main topics: the fi rst one is the German estimate of the military power of the United States during 1939-1941, the second one being the reasons for declaring war on the US, followed by the German intentions in Africa, and the last being the German fear of Russia. The interview was conducted through an interpreter, in form of questions and answers, and its written transcription is preserved as a part of the ETHINT series. The original document is translated in order to preserve its informative value and language structure as much as possible.
