As the Allies advance further into Germany, they turn their eyes to a new objective: recovering as much of the Nazi science and as many of the scientists as they can. Advances in jet fighters, chemical and biological weapons, rockets, all of these will be useful in the inevitable future confrontation between East and West.

We recently produced a video on Wernher von Braun’s V-2 ballistic missile.
Click here to check that out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKDaH6_cuUI&t=141s
BUSEMANN = boogeyman or hobgoblin!? LOL!!
The rocket scientists get a lot of shit, justifiably for their participation in the Nazi Atrocities.
What is not nearly talked enough about are the Archeologists and Historians who also sold out to the Nazi's who provided the "proof" of the Aryan race that gave Hitler his justification for war.
Hi Astrid and Anna
Awesome story to hear.
And end song about werner is comical.
Thanks for sharing
the last aero journal has an interesting article on the me P1101 with another good one on the polish aces in the USAAF with a bunch of testimonies
I recently found out that Wernher von Braun is buried about a mile from my kids' school.
This amuses me because in the last couple of years our town has seen schools renamed and statues removed. And yet . . .
quoting Dr Tom Lehrer off the top, makes for an excellent episode.
Ah Mr Lehrer and Poisoning Pidgeons in the Park. I think I first heard his work on Dr Demento.
I believe Tom Lehrer used the phrasing, "Twenty thousand million dollars" not "Twenty billion".
In the 1968 film Ice Station Zebra, watched and enjoyed by both Richard Nixon and Howard Hughes, Patrick McGoohan's character remarks, "The Russians put our [UK] camera made by our German scientists and your [US] film made by your German scientists into their [USSR] satellite made by their German scientists."
Good thing Hitler was to stupid to realize what the potential was capable of.
I have always said that letting Braun and his men free is another sin this country has committed, up there with slavery.
I prefer these versions of those otherwise hard to look at fellows. They may be easier to look at but those fake accents, atrocious!
Was fully expecting a new Sabaton song at the end.
This was a great video. Astrid and Anna looked like they were having so much fun.
Von Braun wasn't recruited to work on something as 'up-in-the-sky' as the Space Race (pun intended): he was employed for missile development for the US military. That and that alone.
This is a great series and this is one of my favorite episodes. Great job ladies!
Fortunately Hitler set scientists in competition with each other to build an atomic bomb instead of making it a joint project.
I remember (just), seeing Bob Hope in the very early 60's being asked why the Soviets were ahead in the space race. "They've got better Germans than we have".
I'm just glad Tom Lehrer is still around today…
Now that's a diss track and also the origin of "N&zi? Scmatzi?"
"You can ring my be-e-ell"
Like mother, like daughter… Thank you for another episode….. Looking forward greatly to the new foray into the Korean war.
