Additional Description

Abstract

Beginning in the 1980's, essays, books, letters to editors and other literary products appeared whose authors try to vilify men and women who had accomplished great things in the past. Those who chose Wernher von Braun and Peenemuende as their target give free rein to their fantasy, ignoring or denying well-established historical facts and pointing instead to unreliable and questionable "documents" or documents which they thoroughly misinterpret or misunderstand. --- Wernher von Braun went to jail rather than to submit to the wishes of the SS.--von Braun is fully acquitted.
