This volume contains documents from the German Foreign Ministry Archives, covering November 1937 to December 1938. It includes records of conversations involving Hitler and Ribbentrop with foreign politicians, alongside reports from German diplomats abroad. The second part covers January to August 1939, featuring materials from Herbert von Dirksen, the German ambassador in Moscow, Tokyo, and London. These consist of official documents marked for the ambassador's attention, as well as official and personal letters. The publication is based on the second edition from 1981, prepared by the Historical-Diplomatic Directorate of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The publisher retained the preface from the second edition for historical accuracy. Studying these once top-secret documents offers insight into the origins of World War II.
