The United States Strategic Bombing Survey was a written report created by a board of experts assembled to produce an impartial assessment of the effects of Anglo-American strategic bombing of Nazi Germany during the European theater of World War II. After publishing its report the Survey members then turned their attention to the efforts against Imperial Japan during the Pacific War including a separate section on the recent use of the atomic bombs. In total the reports contained 208 volumes for Europe and another 108 for the Pacific comprising thousands of pages. The reports' called strategic bombing "decisive". This is designated OPNAV-P-03-100. It includes lists of Interrogations arranged numerically and by subject matter. It has an index of major battles operations and Japanese officials It includes in volume II Japanese notes of battles and brief biographies of Interrogated Japanese Officials. The interrogations were conducted in Tokyo during the final months of 1945. The purpose of the interrogations was to gain evidence for an assessment of the role of airpower in the war with Japan. Permission was obtained from General MacArthur to retain a nucleus of experienced officers at the Naval War College at Hiyoshi. In addition to being interrogated on their particular specialties and experiences these officers performed research at the direction of the Naval Analysis Division and together with the Japanese Naval Liaison Officer gave useful assistance in identifying and procuring other officers for interrogation.
