He and many other scientists were re-assigned from combat duty to the top secret installation at Peenemu?nde Island off the Baltic coast as part of the Nazi search for "Wonder Weapons". Huzel describes how he became an integral part of the V weapon program which, despite the frequent Allied bombings, produced the feared V-1 and V-2 rockets that rained down on liberated parts of Europe during the later years of the war.As the tide turned against the Nazi regime, Huzel tells of the shifts in production of these weapons to central Germany and his team's rising fear that the rocket technology would fall into the hands of the Russians. However, Huzel and his team were captured by the West and offered re-location to Britain or America. Huzel and his former director, Werner Von Braun, opted for America where they would become part of the ground-breaking Rocketdyne research team and spearhead of the NASA push for space exploration. 606 $aRocketry$xHistory$7Generated by AI 606 $aScientists$zGermany$7Generated by AI 615 0$aRocketry$xHistory 615 0$aScientists 700 $aHuzel$b Dieter$01433896 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163354103321 996 $aFrom Peenemunde To Canaveral$93584688 997 $aUNINA
