珍珠港
儘管一生在美國政府服務出色，他在日本偷襲珍珠港前10天執筆的備忘錄錯誤分析日本不可能向美開戰，甚為聞名。事緣年輕的美國外交部官員Charles W. Yost問及美國對日本石油禁運，亨培克寫道：
| In the opinion of the undersigned, the Japanese Government does not desire or intend or expect to have forthwith armed conflict with the United States.... Were it a matter of placing bets, the undersigned would give odds of five to one that the Japan and the United States will not be at "war" on or before March 1 (a date more than 90 days from now, and after the period during which it has been estimated by our strategists that it would be to our advantage for us to have "time" for further preparation and disposals).[2] |
