	Peenemunde - 1943
		In 1937 the German rocket facility was moved to Peenemunde on the Baltic Coast.
		Unfortunately for the Allies, Peenemunde was attacked too late to inflict a mortal blow to the V-weapons, and the experimental work was unaffected.
		Approximately 180 Germans were killed at Peenemunde, nearly all in the workers housing estate, and 500-600 foreigners, mostly Polish, were killed in the workers camp, where there were only flimsy wooden barracks and no proper air-raid shelters.

	Rocket museum
		In 1990, 54 years after it was founded, Peenemunde has become a "military theme park." That's the description of journalist Shareen Brysac, who described the site in Archaeology magazine (see "Reliving the Nightmare..." in the bibliography).
		The Soviets and their communist lackeys, Brysac says, "wanted to prove that people in the West German government were war criminals." There certainly were links: One director of the operation, Heinrich Luebke, was later president of the Federal Republic of Germany, as West Germany was known before reunification.
		When it opened just after German reunification, it was designed to be a space museum, and was called "Peenemunde, the birthplace of space travel." The place was, she says, "a paean to Wernher von Braun and the start of the space age.

	Yorkshire CND - Germans at last learn truth about von Braun's 'space research' base - 10/6/01
		Until now, the Germans have sought to portray the base at Peenemunde - which employed 12,000 people during the war years - as merely the missile research centre run by Wernher von Braun, who later worked on the American space programme.
		Wall-sized photographs of the destruction caused in London by the V2 and the earlier V1 flying bomb are coupled with private snapshots of German technicians, officers and their wives enjoying the almost holiday-like atmosphere of the Peenemunde base.
		The Peenemunde museum is still working on plans for a further exhibit to explain the background to the RAF's raid on the site in August 1943.

		In April, 1937 all of the German rocket testing was relocated to a top-secret base at Peenemunde on the Baltic Coast.
		By the end of 1937, the Peenemunde team had developed and tested the 1,650-pound, 21-foot long A-3 rocket, which burned a combination of liquid oxygen and alcohol.
		The German Ordnance Department requested that the Peenemunde team develop a ballistic weapon that had a range of 150 to 200 miles and could carry a one-ton explosive warhead.

	Fieseler Fi-103 (V-1) cruise missile
		The Fieseler Fi 103 developed and tested at Peenemunde research center for the German Air Force during the World War II became the first long-range guided missile and the first operational vehicle in a new class of weapons later known as cruise missiles.
		The concept of a pilotless winged missile was a response to heavy losses suffered by the German Air Force, Luftwaffe, during the Battle of Britain in 1940.
		It was also a cheaper alternative to the development of the A-4 ballistic missile conducted in parallel in Peenemunde at the time.

		While it was originally believed that the German installations at Peenemunde had been dismantled and shipped to the U.S.S.R., General McNamary now reports that Peenemunde is operational.
		The Leopoldville radio reported in July that the Soviets were warning shipping against the passage through certain parts of the Baltic and were threatening to death penalty the seamen who might disclose the "phenomena" that they saw.
		In view of transportation difficulties it would seem logical for the Soviets to center their experimental program around Peenemunde where manufacturing facilities, material and German personnel would be close at hand, rather than to set up new installations in Russia.

		Peenemunde officials were well aware of Mittelwerk's deplorable conditions.
		While the Arsenal had been designated as the center for Ordnance research and development in the field of rockets in 1948, it would be another two years before the arrival of Dr. Wernher von Braun and his team, who launched the Army into the mission of space exploration.

	The First flight of a rocket into the fringes of space.
		With success at Peenemunde came interest from the dreaded Heinrich Himmler, with his overtures followed by heavy-handed measures to move the SS into the rocket game.
		A few of the Peenemunde group who were assigned to work with him were later to regret that association, most notably Arthur Rudolph, a brilliant engineer who, after his work on Apollo's leviathan Saturn V rocket a generation later, would be hounded by reports of his working at the 'Mittelwork' plant.
		The bulk of the Peenemunde group migrated westward amid the chaos of collapse toward the Americans and away from the Russians.

	Spaceline: U.S. Astronaut Drafts, 1959 to Present
		The rocket design work of the Wernher von Braun group at Peenemunde originally included the development of rocket-powered aircraft, but these efforts were canceled in their early stages by the German Air Ministry.
		An official order was eventually given to von Braun which involved a relocation of the Peenemunde operation to the town of Bleicherode in the Harz Mountains.
		SS General Hans Kammler, who had earlier tried unsuccessfully to assume control of the rocketry research at Peenemunde, was in command at Bleicherode, an area which hosted a number of concentration camps.

	Chapter 8 -- The Engineers before World War II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In 1937 the rocket team moved to Peenemunde on the Baltic Sea; it was here that von Braun's team made the A-3 and eventually, after much hard work and many failures, the A-4.
		On October 3, 1942 the A-4 roared into the skies over Peenemunde; it broke through the sound barrier and continued to an altitude of sixty miles and a range of 118 miles.
		The Americans immediately went to Peenemunde and Nordhausen and captured all of the remaining V-2s and V-2 parts before the Russians.

	V-2
		The Allies were worried enough to launch a raid on Peenemunde in 1943.
		The Allies did know intimate technical details of the rocket at this late stage having grabbed stuff from Peenemunde refugees and from the Peenemunde site (Pynchon's line about blueprints stained with SS piss and shit is based on the fact that some documents were recovered from the latrines).
		The 1943 raid was aimed primarily at the housing settlements on Peenemunde and was provoked largely by fear of the V-1 and those curious "ski-jump" launching platforms.

	Global Network - Star Wars Boosters - 29/1/01
		The German army established Von Braun at the Peenemunde rocket production and testing center, where he proceeded to develop large rockets for a German balistic missile.On March 27, 1939, Hitler came to Peenemunde for a personal tour and demonstration of the rockets under development.
		Although Peenemunde and other German rocket factories were captured and appropriated by the Soviet army, most of the leading rocket scientists, prompted by the fear that the Russians would arrest them as war criminals, had already fled toward the advancing Americans.
		After the Peenemunde survivors surrendered to the American forces, they were turned over for interrogation to Richard Porter, who was in Germany representing the General Electric Corporation, which held the Army contract for the first long-range ballistic missile under development in the United States.

		It took over the assets of the Germans at Peenemunde.
		I recall that when I was in Moscow in 1947 with Secretary Marshall, we were impressed at the time with the intensity of effort along those lines and the VIP treatment being given to the Germans who had been taken in from the Peenemunde experiment.
		They have been pushing very actively along that line and I would think probably have some advance over us in respect to that particular area of potential military activity.

	Home Army and V1 and V2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Combined with intelligence obtained from non-Polish sources this became enough to convince the British that "something was going on" in Peenemunde on Usedom.
		After a deft ruse on the part of the RAF which mislead the Germans as to the intended target of the raid, Peenemunde was successfully bombed on the night of August 17th, 1943 (Operation Hydra).
		It is, however, certain that the bombing raid on Peenemunde of August 17th 1943, carried out on the basis of Home Army intelligence, and even against the judgement of a section of British intelligence community, did have a significant impact on the course of the war.

		In this document, General Vandenberg explains that these are really rockets, of German world war II technology, and launched by the Russians from the Peenemunde Base.
		This document dated August 22, 1946 shows that high military headquarters estimated that the rockets were of Russian origin, or that they had no better way to explain them to the President.
		In view of transportation difficulties it would seem logical for the Soviets to center their experimental program around Peenemunde where manufacturing facilities, material and German personnal would be close at hand, rather than to set up new installations in Russia.

	The Rocket and the Reich: Peenemunde and the Coming of the Ballistic Missile Era by Free Press
		If Neufeld were ever to rewrite these books, perhaps a two or three part series covering the technical, political, and sociological histories separately would help readers focus on the aspects of the Rocket and the Riech that interest them most.
		An excellent companion is the V-2 by Walter Dornberger which of course must be read with some caution due to the position of its author and time of publication.
		Overall this is an excellent book, I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only due to Neufeld's writing style which makes this book tough going in some sections that include lots of boring, and in my opinion, overkill, technical detail.

		Stuhlinger, who worked with Dr. Wernher Von Braun at Peenemunde and made the journey with him to the United States to work on this country's rocket program, has co-authored with Frederick Ordway III a book about Wernher Von Braun.
		He wrote articles on rockets, orbiting space stations, and travel to the Moon for his high school journal, and he decided at that time that during the rest of his life, he wanted to help open the road for man's travel to his celestial neighbors.
		While von Braun developed long-range precision rockets under the Army's auspices in Peenemunde, he was not allowed to mention the use of such rockets for space exploration.

	A-9 / A-10 rocket
		According to von Braun's own writings, the rocket of this class was envisioned as early as 1936, when yet-to-be built propulsion testing stand in Peenemunde was designed to accommodate engines with the thrust up to 200 tons.
		If given time for implementation of the project and combined with German nuclear ambitions, the A-9/A-10 could potentially turn into a weapon of mass destruction in the hands of a regime, which had no hesitation of using it.
		However the complexity of the rocket and immediate prospect of loosing the war, forced Peenemunde leadership to abandon the far-fetched idea around 1943, so the development center could concentrate on the all-but-flight-ready A-4.
