Original Footage of German V-2 Rocket Development Tests [HD]

- The V-2 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, "Retribution Weapon 2"), technical name Aggregat 4 (A4), 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", assigned to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings against German cities. The V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to travel into outer space by crossing the Kármán line with the vertical launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944.
Research into military use of long range rockets began when the studies of graduate student Wernher von Braun attracted the attention of the German Army. A series of prototypes culminated in the A-4, which went to war as the V-2. Beginning in September 1944, over 3,000 V-2s were launched by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets, first London and later Antwerp and Liège. According to a 2011 BBC documentary, the attacks from V2s resulted in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, and a further 12,000 forced laborers and concentration camp prisoners died as a result of their forced participation in the production of the weapons.
As Germany collapsed, teams from the Allied forces-the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union-raced to capture key German manufacturing sites and technology. Wernher von Braun and over 100 key V-2 personnel surrendered to the Americans. Eventually, many of the original V-2 team ended up working 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, re-established V-2 production, and moved it to the Soviet Union.
Operation Osoaviakhim was a Soviet operation which took place on 22 October 1946, with NKVD and Soviet army units forcibly (at gunpoint) recruiting more than 2,000 German technical specialists and scientists from the Soviet occupation zone of post-World War II Germany for employment in the Soviet Union. Much related equipment was moved too, the aim being to literally transplant research and production centres, such as the relocated V-2 rocket centre at Mittelwerk Nordhausen, from Germany to the Soviet Union, and collect as much material as possible from test centres such as the Luftwaffe's central military aviation test centre at Erprobungstelle Rechlin, taken by the Red Army on 2 May 1945. The codename "Osoaviakhim" was the acronym of a Soviet paramilitary organisation, later renamed DOSAAF.
Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun (March 23, 1912 - June 16, 1977) was a German, later American, aerospace engineer and space architect credited with inventing the V-2 rocket for Germany and the Saturn V for the United States. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Germany and the father of rocket technology and space science in the United States.
Following World War II, he was secretly moved to the United States, along with about 1,600 other scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip, where he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1, and the Apollo program manned lunar landings.
In his twenties and early thirties, von Braun worked in Germany's rocket development program, where he helped design and develop the V-2 rocket at Peenemünde during World War II. Following the war, von Braun worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) program before his group was assimilated into NASA. Under NASA, he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle, the superbooster that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1975, he received the National Medal of Science. He continued insisting on the human mission to Mars throughout his life. - Наука та технологія

To be fair, Korolev and Glushko were both very important driving forces to the Soviet Space Program, even before WW2.
Korolev was essentially the USSR's counterpart to von Braun. Also Korolev was Ukranian :)

Germans had also invented similar rockets at the time of Goddard independently.
Actually that’s not true. The first rocket ever has been developed by a British man.
A year after, a french guy did the same.
@@kayzenl7911 Incorrect the first rockets were made in Mysore and were used against the British to their suprise. After they won the war in the end they took those rockets to England and made a slightly worse version of it after trying their best to imitate it.
Werner von Braun at 4:20 nonchalantly smoking a cigarette and smiling knew he was untouchable. The allies were not going to try him for war crimes because they needed his expertise in rocket technology
Most Germans preferred to work with the USA. The USA covered its eyes and didn't even judge convinced Nazi scientists such as Von Braun who killed hundreds and asked for slaves to work for him in piss poor conditions. The Soviet Union was anti-Nazi ideologically and made scientists go to trials. For the USA criminals are only criminals if they can't be useful.

They were missing transistors, basic electronics to control... but very , very smart people
Remarkable achievement compared to today's technology, even a single smartphone has more tech than their entire missile system.
They had mechanical guidance computers and vacuum tubes which function like a transistor they just consume more power and burn out like a light bulb
Of course they had an electronic controling system, without semiconductors of course but gyroscopes are used until today so thats no drawback.
that's like saying Ford's model T was missing transistors .....i mean what should we expect, we are talking approx 100 years ago which is truly amazing what Von braun achieved.

my opa lived in Germany during world war two, he says him and his friends used to see the V2s flying by all the time, and that they would always cheer the rocket on when they saw it.
I hope i get to say that one day when Mars Colony ships fly above our heads.
And my grandmother lived in the South of England. A rocket hit her neighbourhood and killed lots of her neighbours icluding her best friend. Then again my grandad flew an Avro Lancaster bombing Germany from 1943. I now live in Sweden and my childhood friends grandmother's best friend got killed by Allied bombs when they were running to the bomb shelters from her school. No hard feelings I'm glad we're not enemies any more.
this shows that in war there is no good and bad
@BigGlockTV A lot of those Allied forces were fighting for land that they couldn't care less about, so target discipline was no better than the occupying forces.
My grand mother nearly died as a consequence of german bombing campaign of Luttich in preparation for the battle of the bulge. She was in a house and a V2 hit the square a few hundred meters from where she was. US had it's main logistical center in Luttich just before Bulge, so they started sending V2 then V1. As a result, 2500 civilians died over 3 months, and none of these V1 & V2 actually hit the logistical center.

Another great example of how many times you have to fail in order to finally succeed. Especially when you try something new and different.
Scary thing about V2 rockets was that unlike the V1 rocket, you couldnt hear it coming, since after reaching space it would go down faster than the speed of sound.
Peli Sotilas that is terrifying
My father said that from personal experience. You heard its travelling noise through the air after the explosion.
There was a V1?
@@damo87araimo Yes, but unlike the V2, the V1 had the flight path of a normal plane and it wasn't that fast since you could hear the pulse jet engine from the ground. The V1 would drop to the ground and explode after running out of fuel. So if you heard it's engine stopping, it's gonna explode somewhere near you. Fortunately due to it's slower speed, the V1 could easily be shot down by AA or be intercepted by a Spitfire
@Ipkiss Stone The V1 was a ramjet with a automated piloting system (out by a kilometer or so over a 250km flight). The german scientists calibrated the targeting using newspaper reports of damage caused. What they did not know, was that the British scientists were underreporting the damage to the north. Saved thousands of lives, as most bombs did not hit the densely populated areas

Yeah me to-ughhh sorry just came
It is claimed that von Braun all along dreamed of manned space travel and considered working on the killer weapon program a means to that end,did testing testing testing,ran rocket engines on test stands to study instability in flame "warbling" and how to dampen it
I think he had a lot of input into other aspects of the successful lunar mission apparatus including the landers and their technology for flying back up to rendezvous with the command component that then took the astronauts back to earth---an amazing record of failure free flight accomplishments as to the actual flights but there was the horrific fire in an earth bound capsule that killed Virgil Grissom and two other astronauts ,White and Chaffee.
Still a lot of blood on his hands as to the forced workers on the German rockets and the targeted areas in England to where the rockets were aimed
think USA wanted some other entity to design and perfect the rockets for the man in space program but they couldn't get their rockets to stop exploding on the launchpad or operate with anywhere near enough reliability to trust putting men on top of them so von Braun got the honors. So the man was truly a rocket scientist,a genius.
America would not be where it is today if not for all the foreign scientists.

Remember, you're looking at the beginnings of the space program, right here.
German technology and science was the most modern at the time. The USA and the Soviet Union owe an essential part of the rocket research to it.
No it wasn't. Allies were even and most likely ahead with most technologies.
@@amckittrick7951 No they didn't. Most of the things the Allied countries have in terms of military and technology today, are based off what the Germans used or had during WWII. Not to mention, everyone went after the German scientists for their own uses especially for the space programs (ask US and USSR about it). If it weren't for the Germans, we wouldn't have been as advanced as we are today.
@@sulil1938 not true at all. America and soviets built off of what they had from ww2. America developed its pattons from experiences in Korea and the patton developed into m60. America still uses the same (improved obv) 50 cal from ww2. Every realize how similar the is6 looks to is3. Thats because USSR built on its own tech. German tech by late war was not ahead. Look at the rifles. Germany was still using bolt actions as their primary weapon which was far inferior to the US garand. As soon as germany was defeated the USA and USSR focused on each other neither to be outmatched. Each trying to get the better weaponry. Germany was a large help in the space race but while their other tech was examined, most was found to be inferior.
@Aliver87 i agree with the fact that the mg42/34 was a feared weapon and many modern designs come from it however America invented the browning 50 cal which is still in use today. After that you just said that german battleships and tanks were better without examples or facts so ima disregard that. You probably think that the bismark was amazing however it was really a disaster. Its sister ship, tirpitz didn't do much better. As for tanks, gotta be specific. Early war, german tanks were inferior in armor and weapons but benefitted from superior tactics. In the late war, most designs had heavy guns but were underpowered and faced logistical and mechanical trouble. Finally jets.. Germany developed jets with the famous me262 but its poor internal makeup and inferior metal meant it often melted itself. By the end of the war britain had also developed the meteor which engine design resembles the modern engines of today.
@Aliver87 also you misunderstood me talking about m60. I'm not talking about m60 machine gun. I'm talking about the tank m60.
Germany is filled with so many smart people a very astonishing nation indeed.
Germany was 20 jears forward with tecnics. 20 jears.
Ein Scheissdreck wart ihr das. Hör auf in einer Traumwelt zu leben und lies alles ganz genau nach. Beim Bau von den Raketen sind mehr Deutsche gestorben als ihr überhaupt mit denen ein Ziel getroffen habt. Die Russen hingegen konnten ganz präzise ihre Raketen auf das Deutsche Reich abschiessen. BM 13 ist das Stichwort.
triugolnik lol die Deutschen haben die besten Militär in WW2 nicht die USA oder Russen
20 Jahre? Ernsthaft?

Ganz schöner Mist den du da erzählst. Ich weiß nicht wie du darauf kommst dass bei den Tests mehr Leute ums Leben gekommen sind als im Zielgebiet. Deutschland war der Welt technisch weit vorraus, das zeigen nicht nur Entwicklungen wie die V1 oder V2 sondern auch die ersten funktionierenden Strahltriebwerke , wie zum Beispiel in der Me262 verbaut, dem ersten Düsenjäger der Welt. Dass du die BM13 Raketen mit der V2 vergleichst zeigt dass dein technisches Wissen gleich 0 ist. Katjuschas waren normale Wurfraketen die ungelenkt nur ein paar Kilometerweit flogen. Sowas hatte damals fast jedes Land. Die V1 hingegen war die erste Lenkrakete der Welt, darauf folgte die V2. Beide flogen durch modernste Technik gelenkt große Strecken und trafen ein präzise berechnetes Ziel. Sowas zu damaligen Zeit zu entwickeln erforderte unglaubliches wissenschaftliches und technisches know how von denen die Aliierten damals nur träumen konnten. Ich könnte dir jetzt noch eine Riesen Liste von technischen Weltneuheiten aufzählen die die Deutschen damals entwickelt haben, zum Beispiel das erste Stealth-U-Boot der Welt, die Typ XXI Klasse, aber da dein Kommentar wahrscheinlich eh nur auf einer Abneigung gegen Deutschland und nicht auf technischem und geschichtlichen Wissen beruht, interessiert dich das wahrscheinlich eh nicht.
Die BM13 war ein Kurzstrecken Raketen Geschoss, dass maximal 11km weit fliegen konnte und dazu auch sehr unpräzise war.
Die BM13 wirkt im Gegensatz zur V2 oder auch A4 genannt wie eine Sylvesterrakete.
Man wusste nach Optimierung schon relativ genau, wo die Rakete einschlug.
Ich glaube kaum, dass der Gegner eine Waffe besaß, die fast 300km weit entfernte Ziele innerhalb von 5 Minuten erreichte und zerstörte.
Es gab keine Verteidigungsmöglichkeit gegen diese Waffe.
No wonder NASA took all the German Engineers
Soviets did as well.
Germany = Master of technology
Son los padres de los cohetes espaciales y los misiles...lastima que pillo la cosa entre guerras y los 50.000 cientificos se fueron a eeuu a desarrollarlos , junto con la bomba atomica.
I live in OKC and the science museum there has one of these rockets on display. It's massive.
I remember when I was younger and first touched a V2. I checked noone was watching, then placed my hand on it. It sounds creepy I know. But it was to feel contact with the history.
the Aggregat series of rockets were very impressive, given the available knowledge and technology by the time they were developed
This is the first Rocket that flying on the space
MIGhound *on* the space?
Wait *on the space* I'm hoping English isn't your first language or something but if it is you're just an idiot
it's a missile actually,used to bomb a city.but with that technology,a man can land on the moon..
Leon Leon it was always meant to bring men into space
@@cavejohnson982 No it was not. The V2 is a missile. The V stands for Vergeltungswaffe, which means Revengeweapon.
Fail after fail always lead you to succeed
In World War II, Germany taught the whole world how to make weapons.
Ah yes, Germany invented “the weapon”.
@@danielmolinar8669
I mean specifically, the rockets manufacturing.
idk how many of these rockets are still around, but they have one in the military history museum in dresden. i saw it on my visit there, it is impressive. especially in size.
4:23 Wernher von Braun smoking with broke arm. What a badass fucking cool Guy :-D
The key to success is to try and fail until you succeed
Don't forget they also create the first Turbojet
Korolev and von Braun two genius who open door in to the space
Werner von Braun always used to say that his ultimate goal was to get a man to the moon and beyond, that 'he aimed for the stars.' (which I believe is also inscribed on his tombstone). Underneath a cynic might scribble 'Sometimes he hit London'.
greatest nation the world has ever known.
addicted to every german thing
Literally no. By absolutely no measure was Nazi Germany the “greatest” - especially not by moral virtue.
@@the18thdoctor3 name a greater nation, I dare you.
@@baret9146
Greater by what standard? By morality, literally any of the 164 democracies. By the bare minimum of not committing genocide, even more.
@@the18thdoctor3 greater by anything. Doesn't matter what you say or claim, history's written by the victor anyway.
it`s so sad that it only shows how the rockets crashed but to show that a lot of rockets flew very far that is not shown in the video
For those wondering, the V1 was a remote controlled bomb that had a pulse engine and was considered a failure altogether
No. It wasn't remote controlled! It only was able to keep flight direction and height and after a certain time the engine stopped and the "flying bomb" went down, e. g. comewhere over a big city like London.
@@Nitramrec The V1 was a lot more accurate than the V2. Meanwhile the USA and UK were perfecting nukes.
@@glynnwright1699 : There had also been german atomic experiments. In Haigerloch there is a small museum in the ,Atomkeller'.
@@glynnwright1699 "Nuclear Weapons" are a myth - the Germans tried to make them and gave up - if the Germans couldn't make them no one could.
@@Christoph-sd3zi Oh dear, what a sad sight the inside of your mind must be, when it comes to science. The German attempt at making nuclear weapons was pathetic, they didn't even manage to get a nuclear pile functioning.
After seeing this,I'm even more convinced they would've eventually figured out a way to make the triebflugeljager operational. For those who don't know what this is look it up,you won't be disappointed.
The real Germany died after the wars.
Are we sure that Germans are a part of this human specie and not a descendant of another super advanced galactic empire ?!
Not Nazis but Germans? Well that's a progress!
It's like people were fighting for their country, not a Bad ideology
@@furinick Its not like the people had a choice.
@Starscream91 let's forget indoctrination. Oh and also! The allies technically was the reason they voted for Hitler!
@Starscream91 Some maybe supported expansion in Europe because they were treated bad after treaty of versailles and because they always wanted to keep Germany small! you also have to see that even Hitler wanted no war with UK. He even let the British soldiers retreat at Dunkirk although he easily could have bombed them to the ground. All Generals after WW2 captured said, that they are convinced that a huge scale war wasn't planned. They were proving it with Wehrmacht numbers not beeing at all ready for such a war in 1939.
And beliefe me, they were certain and convinced for what they were doing, and beeing a pussy was no part in it. They wouldn't lie, because they feared to be executed, they stood for what they did!
Starscream91 Ask yourself why they have voted for Hitler first...
GErman deserved the victory.
*The rocket doesn't knows where it is at all times. It doesn't knows this because it doesn't know where it isn't.*
First man made object to reach space
0:18 For a second there I thought they were attempting a landing of the V2 like the Falcon 9. HOLY CRAP!
It was designed to land. Just from space and faster than sound
Der Feuerhydrant steht noch immer an seinem Platz.
I like at 0:52 there is a man with a cigar looking in the crash debris where there might be unspent rocket fuel hanging around 😂😂😂
2:16 vector thrust engines at that age... amazing
They were not vectored thrust, they were fixed with four carbon vanes in the exhaust for steerage.
@@alexspareone3872 still considered vector thrust. A way of directing the direction of thrust, internally or externally
The close ups of the thrust vector control mechanism is the best part of the video. It was Invented by Goddard and adopted by von Braun.
Most expensive One-Ton bomb ever built in history.
Imagine if germany would have not started war.......the tech would have just grown in pure form .....and would have taken much less time to progress....and today the tech could be even ahead of our time...
Thank you for share many failed v2 rockets than they showed me in 1980s.
Greetings to the honorable and intelligent people of germany we will always be by your side

DMITRIY LAVROV viva Alemania. rocket inventons
А что за трек не знаешь?
DMITRIY LAVROV чё пиздеть то..
С 80х годов по цт эту хуету постоянно крутили. По эфиру.
И видеологи с концлагерей.
Чтоб трофейные мягче дрочили..
Так разве русские не хотят признать, что Германия изобрела ракетную технологию?
As an engineer, please always remember what you are building for. Don't underestimate your ability to truly assess the impact of the technology you are creating, you are the actors of it. Regardless of how great rockets are, we must not forget what this invention was really about
unfortunately it seems money and power always wins in the end
shut up !
It was about stopping the advance of Communists and their Allies.
Germany: doing tests and results in years..
USA and Russia: is for me 😊
👉👈
werner von braun........put us on the moon
rat bastard Hermann Oberth was the man von braun learnt from.
@Josh Ongley No, but it was von Brauns invention and he actually was the leeding engineer on the Saturn V
should have been tried as a war criminal; use of slave labour and many thousands of Londoners killed or injured. he knew exactly what his rockets were being used for
rat bastard - Along with many thousands of other people.
@Josh Ongley The soviets got a V2, modified it, and crash landed it on the moon
My father worked on V2 derivatives at Woomera rocket range.
Great footage, thank you for posting it.
It takes tremendous will power to achieve tough goals .
Had Hitler not attacked Russia before taking care of UK, we would have been speaking German today. Damn German engineering is awesome!
“We” lmao
Ok Hans, take this video camera and stand over there. You can literally see the footage shaking because the guy was probably shitting himself watching that rocket come towards him unpredictably.
this is a scarily true statement. they did very much have people stand or sit within the blastwalls of the testing facility to film the rockets.
