    Are they coming after you or are you going after them?
    How does the time machine work?

    :)

    On a more serious note what kind of info are you looking for. There is a huge amount on the net. Google is your friend and wiki isn't a bad place to start although be wary if it's your only source. There are also quite a few forums of varying quality. Give us a bit more background and we can probably help or help more.

    Send Goerring some twinkies and a turkey sandwich; he'll leave you alone.

    Like lwd mentioned GOOGLE Is your friend. There are literally thousands of sites with info on Goering. Not to mention the Luftwaffe.

    It's such a huge subject and their are so many sources that we really don't know what to say. What is your interest? How much do you already know about the LW or WWII? I don't expect a full answer here but have you read any books? What authors? People here will be helpful if they can but such a generic query is really hard to answer.

    Another way is to pick a particular topic of interest and ask about it. Things will normally branch out from there. Such topics might be what was the prewar Luftwaffe like? How did the forces in the BOB compare? Where can I find details on LW fighters or antishiping strikes?

    It's been quite a while since I read the one biography of Goering that I've read. It was quite readable but unfortunatly I don't remember the title or have any idea how good it was. It was somewhat sympathetic towards him.

    Here is a google page full of links:
    HERMAN GOERING - Google Search
    And here's what Amazon shows:
    Amazon.com: HERMAN GOERING: Books
