Peenem nde aerodynamics reports, 1938-1945.
This collection consists of copies of reports from the Peenemunde Archiv 66 series covering aerodynamic work on the V-2 (A4), A5, and Wasserfall missiles. The collection is divided into two series: first are blueprint copies, which include photographs as illustrations, followed by autopositive copies, which include copy negatives used to produce illustrative photographs. There is significant overlap between these two series.
The German Army and Navy experimental station at Peenem nde, on the North Sea coast of Germany, was established in the mid-1930s to continue the rocketry work begun at Kummersdorf in 1930. By the end of World War II (1939-1945) the research station produced a number of successful weapons, including the first surface-to-surface guided missile (V-1), the first ballistic missile (V-2), and the first operational air-to-surface missile (Hs 293), as well as other designs. The equipment developed at Peenem nde formed the basis for postwar research and designs by both the United States and the Soviet Union.
