I live next to White Sands and White Sands Missile Range. At their museum, they have a restored V-2, which was towed as a display at veteran’s parades and such, then at the other end of the basin we have the New Mexico Space Museum, which has a destroyed V-2 and the top stage of an Apollo rocket prepped to test the emergency escape system developed after the Apollo 1 fire. Sort of the apexes of both ends of his careers with the Nazis and the Americans.
Werner’s brother Max was also an engineer who worked, after the War in England, for Chrysler. He married an American and eventually moved to Sedona, Az. where he owned and ran a liquor store along with his lovely wife, Nan.Both were very active in the community at the time – fantastic people. and good friends.

A lot of the development and testing was done at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. There wasn’t much there there then either.
