This fascinating captured German silent film — originally released by the Ordnance Department of the U.S. Army — shows launches and launch failures of the German V-2 rocket, also known as the A-4. Some of the scenes include a successful launch of the A-4 (1:00), control cables leading to armored launch car / mobile blockhouse (1:30), V-2 on pad (1:50), fuel and oxygen trailers (2:00), another launch (2:39), close up of launch (3:10), disastrous launch due to guidance failure (3:47), then an HE-111K is seen after the rocket crashed nearby resulting in a huge crater. Heinrich Himmler is seen visiting the V-2 launch site at the 5:10 mark, another successful launch is seen at the 5:30 mark, followed by a launch failure at 6:30 due to a guidance failure. The crater the rocket made is seen at the 6:50 mark. A group of Nazi officers survey the wreckage at 7:30. Wernher von Braun can be seen in the center of the image, dressed in a suit. Another launch failure is seen at 8:00, with the rocket going out of control and crashing spectacularly very close to the launch facility. At 9:13, a missile is seen failing on the launch pad due to lack of thrust, toppling over and exploding. The warhead remained intact, according to the film's inter title. The wrecked rocket is shown in some detail before the film comes to an abrupt end.<p><p>The V-2 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, "Retribution Weapon 2"), technical name Aggregat-4 (A-4), was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile. The missile with a liquid-propellant rocket engine was developed during the Second World War in Germany as a "vengeance weapon", designed to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings against German cities. The V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to cross the boundary of space with the vertical launch of V-177 on 20 June 1944.<p><p>Beginning in September 1944, over 3,000 V-2s were launched by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets during the war, first London and later Antwerp and Liège. According to a 2011 BBC documentary, the attacks resulted in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, while 12,000 forced laborers and concentration camp prisoners were killed producing the weapons.<p><p>As Germany collapsed, teams from the Allied forces—the U.S., Great Britain and the Soviet Union—raced to capture key German manufacturing sites, guided missiles, rockets and jet powered aircraft. Wernher von Braun and over 100 key V-2 personnel surrendered to the Americans. Through a lengthy sequence of events, a significant portion of the original V-2 team ended up working for the US Army at the Redstone Arsenal. The US also captured enough V-2 hardware to build approximately 80 of the missiles. The Soviets gained possession of the V-2 manufacturing facilities after the war and proceeded to re-establish V-2 production and move it to the Soviet Union.<p><p>The Redstone team, led by von Braun, was transferred to NASA on its formation in October 1958. For NASA, this new Marshall Spaceflight Center (MSFC) helped design a series of rockets in the Saturn family.
