Default "The Story Of Peenemunde, Or What Might Have Been"

Fourth one in: http://www.up-ship.com/drawndoc/drawndocspace.htm

A giant compilation of reports (763 pages), translations and interviews
with the German rocket scientists while under detention by the US Army
in Garmish, Germany, circa 1945-1946.This covered virtually everty
aspect of work at Peenemunde, from the design of the A-4 and the A-9
(including the closest I've been able to find to source documentation
describing a manned A-9) to instrumentation, cannon shell designs and
even mortar rounds.

I've been sitting on this for more than a decade. Finally decided to
scan it in and make it available. I'm surprised I've not seen it
available before... it's a historically important compilation. Shows
both what the Germans were working on, *and* it shows what the US Army
had access to in the days right after the war.
