Hitler's Secret Weapon - Peenemünde

Описание: The Apollo 11 moon landing in July 1969 marked a monumental achievement in human history, but its origins trace back to a small German fishing village on Usedom Island—Peenemünde. Here, Hitler’s secret arsenal, often regarded as the birthplace of space travel, emerged in secrecy, entwined with stories of innovation and destruction.

On October 3, 1942, the Aggregat 4 rocket—later known as the V-2—successfully launched, becoming the first man-made missile to breach the edge of space with a flight range of 147 kilometers. This documentary delves into the groundbreaking developments at Peenemünde and the lives of key figures like Wernher von Braun and Walter Dornberger, brought to life through remarkable footage and interviews with eyewitnesses.

Discover how the Allies spied on this revolutionary technology, Hitler and Himmler’s influence over the project, and the secret weapons under development until the war's end. What became of these innovations after the war? This film uncovers the shadowy legacy of Peenemünde.
