Germany’s top
rocket scientists agreed to
continue their rocket work
in America for the United
States government. Along
with trainloads of captured
German missiles and
equipment, they arrived at
Fort Bliss in early 1946. By
March 1946 the first
captured V-2 was static test
fired at White Sands and in
April 1946 the first V-2 was
launched. From 1946 to 1951
the Army generated an
increasing expertise in
rocket technology and
launched 67 V-2s from White
Sands, establishing high
altitude and velocity
records that reached to the
very edge of space.
