Chapter 1359 11358 Revenge Weapon Plan

"Hannah, call the V2 rocket research team you once participated in the test flight." War girl Danielle has already thought of the worst outcome.

"Okay." Female pilot Hannah Leitch immediately returned to the car and dialed the V2 rocket research team on her own dedicated line. Soon she returned to the director's car worriedly.

"Did they disappear too?" the female reporter had already thought about it.

"Yes. Ever since the secret test site for developing V2 rockets on Usedom was destroyed by Allied air raids (the original plot of "Death Valley"), I was assigned here. Later, the work at the test site All the personnel moved to a secret factory built in a hollowed-out mountain to continue the research and development of the V2 rocket. I tried to contact my former superiors, and the local operator told me that the secret factory had been closed and was said to have been destroyed by an Allied attack. Air raids (also the original plot of "Destruction of Death Valley"). The personnel in the secret factory were also ordered to move elsewhere." Female pilot Hannah Leitch said.

"Referring to the real history of World War II, the person in charge of the entire V-type rocket development work was Wernher von Braun." War girl Danielle said softly.

Wernher von Braun is known as the "Father of Modern Aeronautics". During World War II, V1 and V2 rockets were developed for Nazi Germany. After the war, many types of civilian and military rockets in the United States, as well as the space shuttle that successfully tested for the first time, were jointly invented by Wernher von Braun and his rocket team.

On March 1912, 3, von Braun was born into a noble family in Wilsitz, Germany, and later moved to Berlin with his family. Influenced by his family in his childhood, Braun was full of curiosity. Once he was walking on a street in Berlin's embassy district and bought 23 large fireworks from a fireworks shop on a whim. He tied it to his scooter, lit it up and turned the scooter into a "rocket car", gliding quickly. He is very obsessed with the hobby of space, which may have been influenced by his mother, because his mother was an amateur astronomer.

After graduating from high school, Braun, like other amateur rocket enthusiasts in Germany at the time, was studying the development of rockets all the time. The German Space Travel Association has been working hard to create a more advanced rocket, and Braun was one of the core figures. , preparing to help him publicly launch a preliminary version of the rocket in 1931. Several local businessmen even paid to watch, but the result was a complete failure. From then on, Braun gradually realized that if no one funded his space dream, it would only be a beautiful fantasy.

Just when Braun was frustrated, the German Army found him in 1932 and expressed its willingness to fully support his doctoral thesis, but it had to be kept as a military secret. This was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Braun. He did not hesitate to accept the olive branch offered by the other party. Less than a year into rocket research for the army, Braun and his boss Dornberger arranged a secret launch demonstration for the Army Commander-in-Chief. They planned to launch two A-2 rockets, the prototype of the V2 rocket. The demonstration on Borkum Island was very successful. The rocket flew exactly as planned, making major breakthroughs in both flight altitude and flight trajectory.

In 1939, Wernher von Braun met the Nazi leader Hitler. After seeing the demonstration report, Hitler expressed great confidence in Braun's ability and was willing to invest more funds in rocket research. At the same time, he also asked Braun to produce tens of thousands of rockets and then throw them all to Britain. Because in Hitler's view, if thousands of such rockets could be dropped on British territory every day, Britain could be prevented from attacking Germany to the greatest extent. To this end, Braun found a suitable missile test base in Peenemünde and began to study the new weapons plan V2 rocket plan. Hitler had always wanted to use V2 to save the decline of the battlefield in World War II, and urged Braun to produce as many V2 rockets as possible.

Finally, on Saturday, October 1942, 10, the first ballistic missile manufactured by Wernher von Braun was successfully launched. It had a take-off weight of eleven tons, flew 3 kilometers through the atmosphere, and finally crashed in the Baltic Sea. During World War II, the missiles he developed were used as one of Hitler's secret weapons, and he made a desperate attempt to reverse Germany's defeat.

In July 1943, Braun and his assistants went to Hitler's secret headquarters, the Wolf's Lair, to screen a short film of a V7 launch. Hitler was so impressed that he is rumored to have said: "If we had had these rockets in 2, this war would not have happened." This led to the order to start mass production. A month later the plans were thrown into disarray when the RAF launched a massive bombing raid on Peenemünde because they suspected the base was being used to build rockets. The raid had only limited success, but it did force the Nazis to move their rocket manufacturing facilities to an underground factory in the Harz Mountains of Nordhausen, where this highest-priority project would be released. subject to further bombing by any Allied forces. Here, under harsh conditions, slave laborers from the nearby Dora concentration camp toiled to produce the V1939 rocket. They worked and lived underground without fresh air and natural light, without food and rest, and suffered violent abuse at the hands of SS guards. In fact, more people died while making the V2 than in actual combat. The large number of slave workers who died in the production of V2 rockets became a stain on Braun and his V2. According to incomplete statistics, more than 2 of the more than 6 workers at that time died of disease, hunger and torture. When the first batch of V2 rockets hit London, it was less than a year before World War II, and the situation was completely unfavorable for Germany. In early 2, the Soviet Red Army achieved a hard-won victory in Stalingrad, and subsequently the Nazi forces retreated steadily on the Eastern Front. In June 1943, the troops of the United States, Britain, Canada and their allies landed in Normandy and began to attack from the west. Hitler knew that his fortunes would require a dramatic turn if he hoped to avoid a terrible defeat. Therefore, he ordered the start of the Vengeance Weapon 1944 (V6) program: a flying bomb developed by the Luftwaffe in parallel with the V1. The first of these was launched towards Britain on June 1, 2, a week after the D-Day landings. They have proven to hit those on the front lines hard.

In the autumn of 1944, 4-6 rockets hit London almost every day. By the end of November, hundreds of rockets were flying to the UK. No one could escape this supersonic silent weapon. Post-war materials indicate that over a period of seven months, London was hit by 11 V1115 rockets, each carrying a one-ton explosive warhead. This resulted in the destruction of 2 homes and the loss of 1 lives. The psychological panic it causes is even more difficult to count.

On May 1945, 5, seeing that Germany was doomed, Wernher von Braun, the leader of Hitler's "Revenge" weapons program, brought his space dream and eleven years of research results to the U.S. military, as well as 2 German scientists. Surrendered and quietly transferred to the United States.

That same month, the Soviet Red Army also seized von Braun's research and testing facilities at Peenemünde on the Baltic coast. Meanwhile, the French assembled some 40 German rocket scientists and engineers, while the British assembled the rocket and conducted a series of test launches. The British plan, called Operation Backfire, involved launching a V2 rocket from the Netherlands to the edge of space, and then the rocket crashed into the North Sea. The test proved successful, with the missile reportedly landing within 3 miles of the target - more accurate than the Germans had managed to achieve during the war. Engineers overseeing the tests realized that von Braun had solved fundamental problems in rocketry: He had designed sizable engines, advanced pumps that could extract fuel fast enough, and sophisticated guidance systems.

The importance of the V2 rocket cannot be overstated. As the world's first mass-produced liquid propellant rocket launch vehicle and the first ballistic missile, the V2's shadow continued into the 20th century.

Wernher von Braun provided 100 complete V2 rockets for the US military. In 1955, Braun and his colleagues officially became American citizens.

The Saturn V rocket developed in 1969 sent Armstrong to the moon, and the Cupid C rocket launched the United States' first satellite, Explorer 1, into its intended orbit. His outstanding achievements earned him an audience with President Kennedy of the United States.

Wernher von Braun died of colorectal cancer on June 1977, 6 in Alexandria, Virginia.

"It seems that we have all underestimated the 'Revenge Weapon Plan.'" The female reporter has already thought of it: "V2 rocket + atomic bomb is the whole revenge plan."
