I am not finding anything relating to 4 specific men who arrested Goering: "Hitler understands this as an ultimatum and orders the arrest of Goering. On April 25 Goering was arrested by SS-troops on the Obersalzberg." http://www.the-downfall.com/zeittafel.php3 I am guessing that you did not mean the Germans, rather the allies. This is all I find about the Allies who arrested him: "When Hitler declared that he would remain in the Berlin bunker to the end, Goering, who had already left for Bavaria, misinterpreted this as an abdication and requested that he be allowed to take over at once; he was ignominiously dismissed from all his posts, expelled from the Party and arrested. Shortly afterwards, on 9 May 1945, Goering was captured by forces of the American Seventh Army and, to his great surprise, put on trial at Nuremberg in 1946." http://www.thirdreich.net/Goering_Bio_Anno.html "Goering surrendered to American officers. The officers offered Goering drinks and sang songs with him" http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/nuremberg/meetthedefendants.html Do you have a link to the 4 you are asking about? I might be able to help.

Yes I am related to one of the 4 men and would like to contact them. There are certain things the will tell me if they were there.

Accounts that are printed talk about Goering being turned over to authorities but do not mention the actual arrest and the men who first brought him in, from the field. He was brought in by 4 US soldiers and I am trying to find out if any of the other three are still living. My father in law was one of the four.
-
No I have not heard anything. I suspect that maybe the other three are deceased can't remember their names so can't follow that road.
