A funny story. June 10, 2016 10:52 pm bowser

During WWII the Germans as with all bureaucrats tried mightily to expand their domains. As German rocket science grew it seemed to hold some promise as a weapon system and was coveted by all manner of bureaucrats including Heinrich Himmler. As the Pennemunde site grew Himmler got more and more curious. Finally Himmler drove himself to Pennemunde, wearing civilian clothes. He snooped around and then introduced himself. Braun had already had two prototypes of the V2 slated for testing.
One of these rockets took off, veered off course and crashed into a German airfield next door, destroying not only the rocket but three airplanes.
Later, at dinner, Himmler congratulated von Braun for his new, devastating short range weapon.
