Germany’s V-2 looks at one of the major technological advances of the Second World War, the V-2 ballistic missile.

Although dwarfed by today’s giant rockets, the V-2 represented a quantum leap beyond anything previously built. During the last six months of the war in Europe, Germany launched thousands of these missiles against the Allies.

After the war, the V-2 formed the foundation for the space programs of the Soviet Union and United States. Information is included on previously ignored V-2 launches in the United States.
