This rare silent film consists of captured footage of V-2 rocket development tests at Pennemunde in Germany. It includes successful tests and failures. If you watch closely you will see a visit by Nazi brass including Henrich Himmler, one of the primary architects of the holocaust. The V-2 rocket (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, i.e. retaliation weapon 2), technical name Aggregat-4 (A4), was a short-range ballistic missile that was developed at the beginning of the Second World War in Germany, specifically targeted at London and later Antwerp. The liquid-propellant rocket was the world's first long-range combat-ballistic missile and first known human artifact to enter outer space. It was the progenitor of all modern rockets, including those used by the United States and Soviet Union's space programs. During the aftermath of World War II the American, Soviet and British governments all gained access to the V-2's technical designs as well as the actual German scientists responsible for creating the rockets, via Operation Paperclip, Operation Osoaviakhim and Operation Backfire respectively. The weapon was presented by Nazi propaganda as a retaliation for the bombers that attacked ever more German cities from 1942 until Germany surrendered. Beginning in September 1944, over 3,000 V-2s were launched as military rockets by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets during the war, mostly London and later Antwerp and Liege. According to a BBC documentary in 2011, the attacks resulted in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, while 12,000 forced labourers and concentration camp prisoners were killed producing the weapons.

Thank you for uploading this amazing footage
Even after 45 years, the WW2 German officer's uniform is still unbeatable.
THANKS A LOT! MR BLEWITT!
My Dad was a Radar Guidance Engineer with G.E. and taught a Radar class at Redstone Arsenal for the Army Signal Corps when Dr. Von Braun was there with his other German Engineers and Rocket scientists. My Dad said Dr. von Braun would have Friday night "parties" where anything rocket related could be openly discussed. My Dad was very impressed with Dr. von Braun. My Dad was then transferred to The Cape where I grew up through H.S. (a Ph.D. Aerospace Engineer who works for a large American defense contractor's Missile Systems company.
Peenemünde not Pennemunde
albert Speer, armaments minister and ReichsFuhrer SS heirich Himmler were surveying the damaged Heinkels, when Himmler turned on Speer and sarcastically remarked , "looks like you've got an effective short range weapon"
Fun fact. The V2 was a weapon that killed more people on the side of those firing it then those whom it was intended for.
Albert speer in hisbook "inside the Third Reich" mentions the missile hit on the airbase and the loss of two He 111. Himmler and Speer were surveying the damage when the Reichsfuhrer SS turned on the Minister of Armaments and said,"well it looks like you've got a pretty good short -range weapon".
'god short range weapon"
Who was accounted for and punished for the dramatic loss of those 2 he 111 ?
Albert Speer was a traitor, he succumbed to the allie's blackmail and would write whatever was suitable for them.
Musta sucked living next door to that lot.......
@MichaelKingsfordGray well thanks for sharing your life story with us all but we didnt really need to know it.
By looking at rocket's trajectory, obviously seen that they had developed advanced automatic control system.
Cheers from Indonesia
Terrifying weapons!
GD IT! That counter practically in the center of the frame!!! There HAS to be a better way!
1:50 This section of footage was used in the opening intro of the 1953 film War Of The Worlds.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films like this one were destroyed and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like this on online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
So, in the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous TH-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content. We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to deal with these kind of issues.
This all led to a select number of people getting very rich building missiles after the war. No...it wasn't you.
Von brauw padre del Coeche🚀😍
3:27 I bet Herman Goering wasn’t to happy with Wernher von Braun about this one. Eh heir lip?
By "captured" film or footage,do you mean looted!!!
Karma is a bitch. The Germans were in no position to complain about looting....
It was a war Einstein. Grow up.
There is NO WAYYYY the armored vehicle @1:10 is going to provide any real protection in case of a direct hit from the V2 Warhead
On the other hand it will offer quite a lot of protection if the rocket blows up on the pad, which is what it was for. Or if it blows up overhead and hot flaming bits rain down. None of the early missiles would have had a warhead, they were testing the rocket motors. A bag of cement in the nosecone would have been just fine.
Well, the film commentary is not right: the rockets for testing shots did not have a war head but measuring instruments etc instead.
But of course it was very dangerous for the fire men because of a high pressure tank for the turbine steam and the fuel/oxygen.
So not giant balls but big balls, yes :-)
Last one was mislabeled. That was a test shot. No warhead on it.
To see one of these kind of things from the receiving end perspective (i.e. see the rocket come down from the sky, and not go up into it), however, apparently, you have to fast forward another 45 years, because only Iraqi Al Husseins (which derived from German V2's through the Russian Scud) are on this kind of footage. But i might be wrong.
It was no laughing matter for Londoners through that cold winter.. they were in complete misery.
the counter running is distracting and unnecessarily large and positioned too near the middle of the screen.

@@PeriscopeFilm Thanks for all your efforts. Sorry I"m not able to be a customer. I greatly appreciate letting us see glimpses of these preserved films. b.

Yikes!!! How the hell did those firemen walk with those giant balls.
mrkilroy100 deja de hacer comentarios estúpidos en vez de denunciar a estos monstruos. Sos un imbecil
BTW: Ponder how well these rockets could have delivered chemical weapons to London . . . but Hitler never approved doing so. And compare to bombing of Dresden, HIroshima, and Nagasaki . . .
There is the account where the Nazi Generals asked Hitler permission to unleash Sarin on the Red Army.
Hitler asked the Generals if the Russians had similar chemicals to retaliate and the Generals answered in the affirmative.
Hitler naturally refused to use the gas.
I am always reminded of Truman's retort about Generals when I read stories like this.
