BBC Space Race episode 1 (2): Launch German V2 WWII

the v2 was an amazing machine and for them to create it over 60 years ago is amazing. the minds that built that rocket helped humans land on the moon, out of something bad comes something good

Why were the Nazi scientists actually brought to America? Because the Americans would not be, without us German anything! Without of brown or Mengeles research would not be so far the Americans.

Can you imagine what Germany could had become if the nazis hadn't took power! They would not have lost the rest of their great scientist like Einstein and might have become the world only super power! The National Socialist ran out or killed their best Jewish scientist and lost many other scientist to the war that they started!

The V-2 was not a useful weapon at all. Rockets were not interesting until the Americans and Soviets realized you could carry nuclear weapons with them.

Nuclear ICBM were deterrence weapons. V2 were long range artillary weapons. They were the first SCUDS and Tomahawk missiles. how could u say they were not useful. Tomahawks and SCUDS are the best artillery available to human military right now. USA uses tomahawks before any ground invasion. its part of their planning and its straight from german blitzkrieg handbook.

If Hitler wasn't so impatient, he would have done it. By done it I meant World Domination. Sigh...

the interesting and curious thing, is that america improvement was caused by nazi studys influence.

And the Soviet Air Force was built on the back of the American B29 which they copied and eventually a British jet engine which they copied. Their nuclear bomb program was based off stolen information from the Manhattan Project.

One thing you may not know is that MI5 had double agents in Germany and they got them to tell the Nazis that the V2's were falling short of London when in reality they were hitting London.

They did this a few times just to move the v2's out of the city! THEY ACTUALY FELL FOR IT!!!!!! HAHAHA!

hitler was more like a dude working for charity than a leader, he wasted all resources with the v2 and helped the allies win the war while helping america win the race to the moon against russia,, haha
