Ballistic Missiles of the Third Reich

In 1944, the defeat of Nazi Germany was already obvious. Hitler's last hope was Wunderwaffe "wonder-weapon", the newest military technology ahead of its time. Probably the most impressive success of the Reich engineers was the V-2 rocket (Vergeltungswaffe-2). Hitler sent his personal photographer Walter Frentzen to take photos on the underground military factory Dora, the place prisoners was putting together the very first missiles.
