Lutz:
Having recently acquired a copy and read it avidly, I can certainly recommend it to all on this forum. It is a very good read and provides fascinating detail around the early German developments in rocket and jet propulsion technology and the people who created it. Even though the Nazi 'system' failed to capitalize on their technolgical lead, it is nonetheless fascinating from a technical and historical perspective.
They deserve greater recognition, even though they were not the 'game changers' one would have feared and expected. If ever a technology was ahead of its time, the German jet and rocket developments were certainly it.
