This is the first scholarly history of the culture and society that underpinned missile development at Germanys secret missile base at Peenemnde. Using mainly primary source documents and publicly available oral history interviews, Michael Petersen examines the lives of the men and women who worked at Peenemnde and later at the underground slave labor complex called Mittelbau-Dora, where concentration camp prisoners mass-produced the V-2. His research reveals a complex interaction of professional ambition, internal cultural dynamics, military pressure, and political coercion, which coalesced in daily life at the facility. The interaction of these forces made the rapid development of the V-2 possible but also contributed to an environment in which stunning brutality could be committed against the concentration camp prisoners who manufactured the missile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943654293792,"sku":"NEW052128340X","price":55.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/missiles-for-the-fatherland-peenemnde-national-socialism-and-the-v-2-missile-cambridge-centennial-of-flight-052128340x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
