 | | The V-2 project (code name "E.W.," for Elektromechanische Werke) was pushed with all the secrecy and urgency which surrounded the U.S. "Manhattan District." The rockets were developed and tested at Peenemünde on the Baltic, and manufactured in a vast underground factory at Nordhausen, east of Kassel. |
