Hitler's Secret Science

Before the war is over, Germany will produce a series of technological firsts that remain the basis for many modern day air and spacecraft - from a stealth-like trans-Atlantic bomber, to the world’s first cruise missile. Now, seventy years later, secret Nazi files reveal the classified blueprints for these – and many other – devastating ´Wonder Weapons`.

Toward the very end of World War II, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler still hoped that he could turn the tide to his favor, using state-of the-art technology in the form of newly developed weapons such as the Vengeance One or V–1 was a revolutionary liquid-fueled pulse jet capable of flying 360 miles an hour on autopilot.

In the top-secret scientific complex at Peenemünde, young physicist Dr. Wernher von Braun unknowingly launches the space age with his Vengeance Weapon V-2. In his own laboratory, von Braun and a team of experts build the V-2 in 1943, creating the world’s first long-range ballistic missile and an unstoppable retaliation rocket - at a time when rocketry was little more than a schoolboy fantasy in the United States. In 1944 a team of German scientists attempted to unlock the secret of nuclear fission to produce electric power. The head of the group was Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg.
