My dad, an Air Force officer at the time, attended one of these launches (a successful one), taking 24 Kodachrome slides with his personal 35mm Contax camera (German precision!). I donated the slides to the White Sands Missile Range Museum. They very kindly made 8x10 prints sent back to me.

@Preet S Please share why you think it's not true.
Hide all the German engineers who actually launched the rocket.
Al woo It was 1947. They didn't want the Soviets to know exactly what was going on. The USSR was doing the same with their captured Germans scientists and V2's. The US benefited from the fact that Von Braun and many of his colleagues much preferred to be captured by the Americans once they realized the war was lost and did what they could to make that happen. At his heart, he was just a boy that wanted to build a space rocket and he did whatever he could to see that dream become reality. It's unfortunate that his ambition allowed him to get mixed up with the Nazi government with little regards for the human consequences, though I suspect his aristocratic upbringing set him on that path pretty easily. It's pretty hard to find any major figure in history without some glaring flaw, like the fact that Ghandi had an appallingly racist opinion of Africans to the point that he felt comfortable stating them in print for us to see a hundred years later.
When the Russians got their satellite up before us, my father, a physicist said they got better Germans than we did. They got VonBraun's boss.
@@gmoschetto1 Well,the following question is:Why did they never make it to the Moon then?
Well,most of captured german scientists were brought in America.And they were amongst the most iconic german engineers that were involved in WW2.
Ussr had some notably Rocket scientists such as Korolev by then.However,improving existent technology for over 1 decade and making such an achievement is indeed important,but soviet rocket technology was never more advanced than USA's.
Golden Chestplate : Read Nikita Kruchev's a autobiography and you will see that USSR manufacturing capabilities never were able to keep up with it's scientists. He asked to see the most advanced part of a missile being built and was told it was the Venturi plate. He was taken into a steel mill and then into a room with a dirt floor and a huge anvil and four muscle bound men with large sledgehammers in a circle around a slab of steel pounding the hell out of it. He was appalled.
@Brown Paw Your German wasn't grammatically correct if it matters to you, and no, they didn't protect you. They *had* to "help us" because they tried to destroy the allies including the United States, and guess what? They lost. They lost because the Soviets defeated them, ironically the Soviet protected you from Nazi aggression, not the other way around.
all the video footage from 1940-1960 is spoken by the same person... or so it seems to me :)
People back then had similar voices, and people also live/work for 20+ years.
Do you have any idea how a film-short is made?
You're right. It always seems to be the same guy. I also remember the film strip guys voice. :-)
Must have been the announcer from the DBZ tournaments, who simply DIDN'T age.....
Has to do with the microphones of the time.
The first steps of the American nuclear Intercontinental ballistic missile program with the help of German scientists brings tears to my eyes.
The long road to mass destruction. Germans probably felt relieved to make ways to end it all.
Tears of happiness
I have studied this rocket since my very young youth. Had this been tipped with a nuclear weapon, the war might still be on from WW2. The Germans had enough raw fuel for a hanford type reactor, and had they waited ten years to strike the Soviet Union, it might have been time for them to run up a plutonium load because I think they could have probably done it much faster than we did without all the expense we did not need to do in Oak Ridge Tennessee, because of their higher technical aptitude. We were flying propeller planes against their jets, which really was no contest had the other foot had the jet and we would have used it massively. They were dinking around with uranium cubes so they could measure the effects more closely. Don't forget we accidentally made the reactor large enough to overcome the poisoning of reactor xenon turn down of neutron flux that was only barely made possible. It would have required a complete overhaul and the cost was still astronomical.
Eles eram realmente alienígenas com suas tecnologias e audácia ,sem medo de errar !
The Saturn 5 had a wonderful beginning. This German technology allowed the USA to go to the moon.
The U. S. taxpayer allowed the USA to go to the moon. Don't be confused.
@@MrShobar The U.S tax payer would be broke if they would have started from scratch and i do not think they would have been able to compete with UDSSR without German Engineers and knowhow.
@@MrShobar Big Deal... the Russian taxpayers also paid for the development of German WW2 technology, using German rocket scientists whenever politically possible... and they got into orbit and put men, monkeys, doggies and women (list not in order of importance, SJW folks please note....) into space before the USA. Point is, BOTH of them benefited equally from German rocket expertise - live with it, lol. Any country big enough can come up with enough loot to do great things: this is a triviality.
German technology was based on Robert Goddard an American
@Paul Hadley and the V2 rocket
probably the first time von braun felt really happy about his work
You are absolutely right! On the first V-2 rocket was the picture of the famous "Frau im Mond" (Woman in the moon) from Fritz Langs science fiction film of the same name (Premiere 1929)! Von Brauns dream was to send a man in space... but then came the war and he had to build war rockets for Hitler....
Yes! And after 1945 he has to build ICBM´s for the USA! The "Atlas"-Rocket, the "Redstone" -all build by him and Walter Dornberger und Hermann Oberth, his teacher! The americans didn´t care that he was a SS-Officer in the war and Walther Dornberger was a high Commander in Hitler´s Wehrmacht!
But all this german scientist made their dreams of 1929 ("Frau im Mond") finally come true - Wernher von Braum became the Director of the NASA and they all build togetherthe Saturn V, the greatest rocket ever buildt to bring the first man - Neil Armstrong - to the moon!
He didn't have to build the others...
Von Braun had always dreamed of sending rockets to outer space, I'm not justifying him for compromising with hitler and building the V2 as a weapon, (he would have done anything to fund his ideas) but a warhead carrying rocket certainly it wasn't his dream.
the sanest comment here. thumbs up bro.
i dreamed of that idea in a cherry tree before he was born and was designing Multi-staged rockets when he was in diapers.
then he stole my designs.
Correct. The German Rocket Society headed by Hermann Oberth PLAGIARIZED the 1913-14 patents of Robert Hutchings Goddard.
@@roberth.goddardthefatherof6376 He didn't stole any of Goddard's designs.Just like the jet engine,this rocket was developed independently in Germany.However,the process of development unfolds much faster when you have many scientists working on that project and also benefiting from industrialesed R&D(german military funded the project),compared to Goddard who had only a few helpers.
Saturn V was based on this man and many other german scientist's research,not on Goddard's.Otherwise,USA wouldn't have taken Braun and his team to work with them.
@@roberth.goddardthefatherof6376 I've seen you many times in other videos' comment sections regarding this subject.
The rocket engine developed by Nazis generated 50 times more pounds of thrust compared to Goddard's engine,and also being equally weighted.Besides the revolutionary engine,V2 had many innovative features,such as the guidance system,thrust vectoring etc.
And for offended those,I didn't mean,at all,that Goddard's work wasn't important.However,v2 integrated many engineering techniques and ideas that simply put itself on the top of every other rocket at it's time.
WOW!!! this is a very valuable historical document!!! Thanks for uploaded it.

Goddard never had a turbopump. Without this crucial component Goddard was only building toys.
The US rocket crew are using the original German control console ( it would seem)
7th. Jeg kan se du ja til
True . original object was Germany . Thy launched 2000 missiles on london in ww2
Very informative I like that this is just not a short clip they go into some detail
the V2 was, I imagine, the most advanced liquid fueled rocket of the time. We captured them and learned from them. Also, Von Braun moved to the US and was instrumental in the American space program. Germans in the 1940s were also ahead in jet aircraft, jet engines, the flying wing, delta wing, etc. In 1932 the only place you could get a PhD in aerodynamic engineering was in Germany. They immediately jumped on a serious study of aircraft, then rockets.
"We captured them and learned from them."
no!, those germans learned from us, Me to be percise, they stole my designs.
the V-2 is simply an enlarged, product improved and efficient version of my L-13. with a warhead and radio control.
Crazy what funding and pressure from a despotic madman can do.
The German Rocket Society, headed by Hermann Oberth, plagiarized the 1913-14 patents of Robert Goddard of Massachusetts, USA. Goddard was launching Rockets in New Mexico in the 1920s.
it is still a long way from a patent and some small demonstrators to a 15 tone vehicle hitting 300000+ft of altitude. Even today, I takes companies years to get their orbital class 1st stages to this 1945 performance.
At that time probably alien technology for them, that they've stolen from the genius German.
Goddard of Pitsfield, Massachusetts invented the technology in1901 and had ready to go but was shelved due to end of WW-1. Similarly many technologies were shelved at the end of WW-2 and have been lost.
It's all just clarity of mind ffs
We literally gave him the opportunity to continue his work. Hitler couldn't of given less of a fuck about getting to the Moon, he just wanted Missiles hitting the enemy.
Ah glass/quartz wool sucks so bad.. I've worked with the stuff a few times throughout my career in scientific glass. Despite suiting up, you'll feel that stuff on you for days.
i enjoyed that thank you airboyd :)
It seems like such a large operation. Crazy to think that a few years before this, Germany were launching these things every day.
But they were built like shit by slave workers and they had more efficiently designed factories and launch pads
Many were launched from mobile platforms in the streets of the Hague, Netherlands. They had to erect the rocket, fuel it, calibrate the instruments and launch it, under constant threat of discovery and attack by allied air power.
Just excellent. Very enjoyable and thank you.
Thanks this helps a lot.
Jeff Quitney has posted a version of this video which is much easier on the eyes.
You really think no one else would have done in his place? he was a scientist and not a criminal! yes, he participated in the creation of V2 but there was bound to happen! he was the best scientist of all germany!At the end of the war, when he was released from the enemy, he supported the U.S. Without him, the Americans never would have walked on the moon!You tell me that Korolev was an exeptional scientist,in the Soviet side,but the poor man died before he saw a man's foot on the lunar surface.
Yes, I agree, one of the best available on the internet showing the A-4/V-2 assembly.

I would seriously have trouble working on something that was designed to blow up. Wartime changes your viewpoint I'm sure, but so many beautifully machined and welded parts.....just to go Kablooey in the final moment....
Museum of Space History has a mark to stand on and look through a 'window' to where a V-2 crashed into foothills nearby. Errantly flew over Alamogordo before crash. Parts of that rocket lie in the museums outdoor display area.
One V-2 launch went wrong and landed in Mexico in a cemetery. By the time they got there, the Mexicans had sold enough metal to make up 4 or more V-2’s.
It's nice that von Braun's design was put to its originally intended civilian use :)
space exploration is by definition a military enterprise
ndeepowder no it’s a scientific enterprise
@@ndeepowder
You have a very strange understanding of "by definition." What you mean is better captured by the phrase "according to my personal opinion."
According to my personal opinion, the turbo pump technology pioneered by the German government all space flight owes its heritage to the Fuhrer.
i worked in Las Cruces, just west of White Sands at the TDRSS ground site. White sands did some weird shit over the years, especially the sprint ABM tests.

Dr. Werner Von Braun with some 1,600 fellow rocket scientists and aeronautical engineers sought out American forces for their surrender in early May 1945. Von Braun was the chief designer for the development of the Saturn V Moon Rocket design that took US Astronauts to the moon and back in July 1969.
Nice video

Amazing film.
Fascinating footage.
There's a very interesting book written by the Director of White Sands called 'The Viking Rocket Story', which gives a lot of information about the trials and tribulations of research carried out there.
13:41 : French spy
Gotta wonder though, why they didn't modify the rocket to include a parachute that deployed shortly after the engine died. Might have reduced the search time for the instruments considerably, and made the rocket reusable, and a worthy museum piece today.
this was filmed on 1947, only 2 yrs after war ended, parachutes weren't deployed to such use before 1950's since developement for them wasn't begun yet, hope this clears this up a bit.
There is no "American V2"!
Where was it launched? On whose orders?
@@sce2aux464 I can't drive a Ford in Germany and say it's a German car

@Wolfgang Kleinert - Seeing as Germany instigated WW2, I really don't give a damn if we "stole" them or not. In any case, Wehrner von Braun and his associates are not German property. With few exceptions, all of the Peenemünde team that wasn't captured by the Soviets died as American citizens. And you might have heard of two men, one named Goddard, the other named Tsiokolvsky. Von Braun was just one of many.
@@sce2aux464 "germany instigated WW2" source: dude trust me. Soviets demanding germany to hand over finland, romania, lithuania to soviet union was definitely not instigation of war. Poland genociding german minorities in danzig is definitely not instigation of war.
Von Braun clearly said he did what he did to save germany from international aggression. Yes he was german to the core and you're no one to claim he wasn't. The nazi plan in the end was to surrender to US and continue the war against communism with US(which wasn't officially realized since berlin fell to soviets), which is exactly what Von Braun did.
Germans engineers: Did you set the new coordinate!?
US engineer: I thought you did!?
Germans engineers: Ahhhh scheiße
Great video. The opening rocket launch in the 1950 movie "Destination Moon" is a great color video of (made apparent by this video) a V-2 being launched from White Sands. Same gantry, etc. Wonder if that film was taken (of a previously scheduled launch) for the movie or if it was from archival footage. Then the question would be if the archival footage is color -- or was colorized for the movie...
Try didn’t have the technology to color black and White films in the early 50’s.
A deadly piece of engineering..
I read a great book titled "The Mares Nest" all about German rocket research and development during WW2. Starting with the A-1, then the A-2, A-3, and eventually the A-4 ( known as the V-2 ) they reached an altitude of 62 miles and traveled over 200 miles downrange. The A-4 was also the grand daddy of all modern rockets. German ingenuity was unmatched. It has been estimated that if not for wartime issues the Germans would have been the first to put a man in orbit sometime around 1949.
"German ingenuity was unmatched."
LMFAO!!!!, these fuckers stole my designs!
the V-2 is simply an enlarged, product improved and efficient version of my L-13.
Germany also had Saucer Scientists, and they were all send to Nevada and New Mexico in Operation Paperclip in 1945. THey were all unrepentant Nazis.
Very casual handling of the turbo pump fuels. Who needs safety equipment?
Tbf the steam generator fuels were just hydrogen peroxide and sodium permanganate which aren't particularly harmful. The worst one is LOX because it's incredibly cold.
@@bradcogan8588 very cold and very highly pressurized.
whats the difference between a rocket and a guided missle.
RICHARD GORDON A rocket just flies up. Like the v2. A guided missile chases a target. Like the heatseekers on military planes.
i would recon the engineering in the a4 or v2 is quite complex I don't see how to keep it from oscillating.
possibly since external damping is absent internal damping might possibly compensate.
I was going to call a friend of mine who was in White Sands in the late ‘40’s and knew the von Braun Team. I asked him your question about the oscillating and he said the V-2 had a very good center of gravity. It was a VERY stable rocket. He said more stuff but I can’t remember what all he said but that basically covers it. I hope that helps.
@l8tbraker, Bill Gross handled public affairs at White Sands Missile Range. He was the museum curator at White Sands and an exceptional photographer with a background in the documentary photo services. I met him in the 70's when I hired on with a DoD contractor.
My involvement was much later than the 70's. Maybe around 1998 or so. Don't recall his name, but he was very nice.
The Museum archive data base is not accessible online right now.

After the war, and at the time my dad took the pictures, he was assigned to the office of Deputy Chief of Staff/R&D working directly for Gen. Curtis LeMay in Washington. That was a brief stint for LeMay, who shortly returned to Europe. We ended up at Sandia Base in Albuquerque in 1947. And so it went.

"no longer a weapon of war", that's rich!
does anybody know if usa captured more v2 than usssr or vice versa
The first German V-2 missile tested in the USA didn’t get very far. The guidance system failed, a fin came off, and the rocket-after reaching an altitude of only 3.4 miles-crashed in the desert. The next couple tests went better, until 29 May 1947, when the rocket veered south instead of north as planned, and crashed near Juarez in Mexico.

I would bet Werner Von Braun and subordinates, were already directing the operation.
The lack of PPE on the workers makes me sad. How many of these guys ended up with lung problems later in life? We take a lot of that stuff for granted now, but all of this knowledge about safety and protection came about because of a lot of death and suffering. Knowledge paid for in blood. 😔
Tbf the fuels and stuff used aren't particularly harmful except LOX because of its insanely low temperature and spills onto flammable objects are disastrous.
Why? There is nothing on this rocket that produces harmful gases. The most dangerous material would be the 80% Hydrogen Peroxide... but it breaks down into nothing but water and oxygen. Skin burns would be the primary danger with the H2O2. The Sodium Permangenate is the same stuff you swish in your mouth at the dentist's office. The rocket fuel is 75% ethyl alcohol/25% water.... 150 proof whiskey essentially (although it was not aged in charred oak barrels...) and LOX is liquid Oxygen... an component we all require for life.
The lack of PPE makes me happy for those men... they weren't having to do something unnecessary to satisfy the whims of some pencil pusher in a disconnected office that has no clue of what is going on in the field but thinks he is the expert.
By any stretch of the imagination certainly the V2 was dramatic but not quite a feat of technology as the Atom Bomb.
I'd disagree. The technology used in the V2 was far more advanced than anything in the nuclear bomb, especially the gun type bombs such as Little Boy. They were pretty rudimentary.
I think it's easy to conflate "science" and "technology" in this comparison. The vehicle assembly and transport, liquid propellant, and guidance systems were not remarkable in terms of science, but together they constituted a remarkable achievement of technology. These rockets functioned at the limits of technological possibly for their time.
The atom bomb, on the other hand, was more fundamentally a scientific breakthrough, requiring little new technology to be put into practice. But first the scientific principles had to be understood, and this was all very new territory.
How many year after the end of the war?.....learning, seems to me.
andreshkt They launched rockets from White Sands from 1946 or so and on into the 1950’s to include the Redstone Rocket which was referred to as the V-2’s younger brother.
The original height was 50 miles up when used in anger.
Steve Malpass it was higher than that. 62+ miles.
I noticed the workers *not using any masks* when installing the glass wool insulation for the fuel/oxidizer tanks!!!
lol guess their union screwed up on THAT bit of workplace safety :-=).
Chet Pomeroy There was little to no safety requirements back then.
Actually a British film of the firing of a V2 after the war shows the German men using masks while installing the glass wool. Maybe they were just more aware of the danger. I have insulated my attic with the rolls of insulation and when your sweating and unrolling those rolls, its hard work. And you itch for a week afterward.
15:10 four seconds into launch rocket was one mile up !!! Compare that with Apollos which took 10+ seconds to clear just a 100 meter launch tower !!!
Please, do enlighten us on this 'Apollo' rocket you speak of...
Das Verhältnis zwischen Masse und Schub ist entscheidend.
@@Habibi46611 Google-Translation:: "The relationship between mass and thrust is crucial."
Yes, of course. Above V2-rocket must have had an initial Thrust-Weight-Ratio (TWR) >6 to reach 20 miles up in 60 seconds, (if those numbers are real). Its next claim of reaching 100 miles (160km) up is probably false, because it translates into a lateral range of at least 160kmX4===640km . However, the latest V2-rockets' range was reportedly around half of that!!! Anyhow, compare the above V-2-Rocket going up 1,600 meters in 4 seconds, with Apollo-11 going up only 25 meters in 4 seconds, according to its official launch-data::: spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov/weekly/8Page2.pdf This side-by-side comparison, alone, is an independent proof that Apollos were NOT rockets at all, as proved in TH-cam::: ("Simple-Experiment-Proves-Apollos-FAKE")
