The song Wernher von Braun, written well before 1964 and recorded to Ampex video in 1967, was originally published on The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel in July of 2007. The original 4:3-version is still on YouTube. This converted version is just an experiment, but if you watch this copy, you will get to hear Tom Lehrer's spoken intro.
Try to click under the video window for higher playback quality or add &fmt=18 to the url to manually alter the playback resolution. It will not change too much though, because of the test conversion to wide screen.
To make this song even more spot on, Lehrer used eight bars from the well-known German national anthem "Das Lied der Deutschen" as a song intro :-)
Check out more about the German national anthem here:

Toms Lehrer should have asked Dr Wernher von Braun to do this as a duet on Piano.
You know he was also an accomplished Pianist too.That would have been fun to see

Didn't stop the Americans from using the work he contributed to, and campaigned against the weaponization of, to nuke two separate cities full of non-combatant civilians, now did it?
But, my god, Oppenheimer is a Germanic name!

But employing it quite intentionally on a civilian population does make the rulers of this country murderers and state terrorists by definition.

Yeah, but the atom bomb wasn't built by concentration camp inmates. The V2 was the only weapon in history that killed more people during its construction, than during its use.

Well, rockets might have been a Nazi invention, but so were Jet engines, Stealth bombers, the first plane to go over 1000km/h and one winged airplanes. And a lot of other useful inventions.
War may be horrible, but it drives development forward at a much higher rate, leading to an advancement equivalent of 50 years in under 4 years of wartime research.

The thing is that being in the party was kinda mandatory and expected during the regime, especially if you were in a higher position or boss of some company.
Doesnt excuse him joining the SS though.

Bill Maher, was here in Huntsville Alabama's Von Braun civic center last year. And yes he made the expected comment, but he should have sung this song. Viva La Thomas Lehrer........
