To me this ranks alongside Aldebaron and the society of the Black Sun.

Given the article has links to TIME and the New York Times, apparently
some Nazis really were toying with the idea - but since what you mean
is that this was just some more Nazi nuttiness ranking with the Thule
Society and so on, I agree with that.

But a multi-stage rocket based on the V2 would eventually be able to
put humans into space on a space station, because, of course, that
actually happened.

Long after the war was lost anyway. The V2 did not have the right
technology, it used oxygen and ethanol. The ethanol was there to cool
the motors.

The Saturn 5 used LOX/Kerosene for the first stage and LOX/LOH for the
upper stages.
