What Göring Admitted Before He Died That Every American Should Hear

In May 1945, three days after Germany surrendered, Hermann Göring sat across a wooden table from an American general in a ruined schoolroom in Augsburg. He had two hours to answer questions about the war he had just lost. What he said about why the Luftwaffe failed — and which single weapon had beaten him — has been sitting in archive boxes at the Library of Congress for sixty years. Most Americans have never heard it. This is the full story behind that confession. It begins in 1899, in a small German town, with a boy who wanted to build airplanes. It runs through the drafting rooms of California, the test fields of England, the burning skies over Schweinfurt, and the first day American fighters reached Berlin. Names, dates, and the details that didn't make it into the history books. If your father or grandfather served with the Eighth Air Force, drop their story in the comments. Those voices deserve to be preserved. This video uses archival materials and original terminology from the World War II era for historical research and educational purposes only.
