FOREWORD
In 1945, even a "Fort Bliss Graduate" probably could not have imagined the
degree of progress that the ensuing years would bring to the science of space
---- more powerful boosters, larger payloads, increased reliability, better
guidance, improved metallurgy, and pin-pointed accuracy, to cite a few.
Since the fonnation of the "Old Timers" in 1945, much has been wr:itten of the
progress in space. Conversely, however, little has been written of the
Old Timers' previous accomplishments which have contributed so greatly to it.
The purpose of this booklet is to fill this void in some measure by highlighting
some of their prior achievements and to salute them for continuing their search
for answers to the unknowns of space.
This would have been impossible without the assistance of many people who took
time from their busy schedules to furnish the data and illustrative material.
Particular indebtedness is due to Walter Wiesman whose guidance and direction
to sources of information proved invaluable; to Hermann R. Ludewig for furnishing
the interesting background information; to Gerd deBeek and Floyd Duke for allowing
the use of some of their photographs and artwork; to H. R. Riggs, Jr. who opened
his archives; and to James R. Neal of General Electric Apollo Support Department
in Huntsville, Alabama, who designed this booklet and prepared the finished art.

�BEGINNING IN 1929
---- There were static tests of cooled and
uncooled rocket motors for liquid propellants.
Also, there were free-flight tests of smaller
rockets by private groups and companies such as
the Gennan Rocket Society which developed this
one in 1930 and 1931. Because of the naviga
tion sign in the background, it is assumed
that this picture was taken close to the sea.
The "BSM" in the oicture number refers to
Bordgeraete and Steuer - Maschinen, On-Board
Instruments and Guidance Control, or "G&C".
OCTOBER OF 1932
---- The development and activities began at Kummersdorf, near
Berlin. It was here that propellant-cooled rocket motors under
went static test for up to 300 seconds duration. At right is a
rocket motor, 300 kg. thrust, on the test stand at Kummersdorf.

DECEMBER,1932
---- The'A-1 static test was unsuccessful. The Historical Society has
furnished the test report at left which states that this primitive
sounding rocket exploded because a "delayed ignition detonated an
explosive mixture which had accumulated in the cdmbustion chamber".
STARTING IN DECEMBER,1934
---- There was the testing of turbopumps for LOX and the successful free
flights of the A-2, a modified version of the A-1. Launched at the Island of
Borkum in the Baltic Sea, the A-2 rose to an altitude of approximately 1 1/2
miles. Rocket motors (750 and 1000 kg. thrust) for driving the Heinkel
He-112 also underwent static test. A 1000 kg. is shown during static test,
below center, and also built into the He-112, below right. While these part
icular tests below were operated from the blockhouse, other tests, above
right, were performed later at Peenemuende where for the first time the
motor was operated from the pilot's seat. In 1937, at Peenemuende, this

MAY,1937
---- The development and research activities began at Peenemuende,
below left and center, on the Baltic Sea where the A-3 rockets
with gyro-stabilization were static tested. The photo shows an
A-3, ready for this test at Kummersdorf. In the summer of that
same year, firing platforms, flame deflectors, scaffolds for
services and protection, transport containers, bunkers and other
ground installations and accessories for the A-3 were developed.
The illustrations on next page show the platform stabilized for
three planes of motion and
the stable platform for the
A-3 rocket.

OCTOBER, 1942
---- A most significant
event occurred with the
first successful free
flight of a controlled
A-4 (V-2 ). Two photos
of A-4 (V-2) launchings
from test stand number 7
at Peenemuende are shown

opment included the
Meiler-Wagen, far right.
---- Some significant milestones during this period included testing of
various automatic pilots, development of automatic combustion cut-off
devices, recovery of the A-5 rockets by brake and main chutes, the first
successful beacon-controlled free-flight of the A-5 from Greifswalder Oie,
and successful flight tests of air take-off units for aircraft. At left is
a test report of three A-5 flights. Developments for the V-2 (A-4) during
this interval included the steam generator, the fuel/oxygen turbopump, and
parachute and ejection devices. The photo below shows a V-2 powerplant on

THROUGH ALL THIS
---- Dr. Walter F. Dornberger was the exemplar of management. Attestation
of this is eloquently expressed by Dr. von Braun in his speech at
Dr. Dornberger's retirement banquet at the Aero Club of Buffalo. New York
on November 12, 1965.
�DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN'S SPEECH AT DR. WALTER DORNBERGER'S TESTIMONIAL DINNER, NOVEMBER 12, 1965
"Thank you, Bill, for your flattering introduction and accolade. That is the kind of speech I could listen
to all night. And for a while there I thought I was going to.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, as the saying goes: It is a great privilege and honor for me to be here tonight, but
I have to tell you one thing at the outset. It was not until about two hours ago that I learned this was a
'ladies' night,• and I have spent the last half hour cleaning up mY speech.
"It is always a great pleasure to join in paying tribute to a prominent citizen and especially so in this
case, to a man very dear to mY heart. He is Dr. Walter Dornberger, prominent citizen of the Buffalo corrmunity
and a long-time friend. He does no longer like the term 'fatherly friend' that I used a little earlier in life,
because it reminds him that he is eiqhteen years older than I am. He doesn't want to be reminded about it.
Well, he is, nevertheless, my former boss and mY mentor. I think there are very, very few people who have shaped
my life and mY professional career the way Walter Dornberger has done.
"But before I talk more about him, I would like to pay a very special tribute to the American people in
general. I would like to salute this corrmunity here, and all the many other corrmunities all over the United States,
which have not only tolerated the influx of strangers from other continents, from other countries, and -- yes -
former enemies, such as Walter Dornberqer and mYSelf -- but have full_y accepted these in their ranks. You have not
only opened the borders of your country, you have opened the doors of your homes. And even more important, you
have opened your hearts. I want you to know that it is with the feeling of deepest gratitude and appreciation for
the tolerance, generosity and open-mindedness of the American people -- and also for their warm-heartedness and
cordiality -- that I am standing here today, honoring a fellow countryman, whose life has been so closely inter
locked with mine.
"I know that Walter Dornberger shares this feeling of gratitude with me. I really do not know of any other
country on earth where this kind of thing could have happened. It could have happened only in the United States.
"Just imagine an immigrant coming over twenty years ago with only a cardboard carton and a brief record of
having previously built military missiles. And here I find myself with the moon offered on a silver platter,
and a couple of billion dollars enclosed to visit it!
11 The title of my remarks tonight is: 'Walter Dornberger, a Profile in Leadership.'
If it had not been for
Walter Dornberger's leadership in the German rocket development program, I am sure that neither he nor I would
be here today. In fact, we probably would never have had an active rocket program in Germany if it had not been
for his leadership and his tenacity. Some of his not-so-close friends call the latter his stubbornness.
"The world has always set a high value on leadership, and a great deal of history has been written into the
biographies of great men. Nothing inspires a man to propel himself out of the ordinary, to the forefront of
achievement than, of course, another man. Men who by their example are an inspiration for others.
"Very few people can agree on just what leadership really is. Although great leaders possess a good many
traits in corrmon, there is no -- what you might call -- 'common mix.' The mYSterious ingredient of personality
that holds together the desirable characteristics of leadership has always defied analysis. I really wish we
knew more about this subject.
�"There is little question of the importance of good leadership in government, in business, in education,
and, in fact, in all organized endeavor. But we still seem to be unable to define exactly what it is. Although
it would be impossible to dissect the human mind and spirit and identify their parts, I would like to discuss
what I think are at least a handful of known qualities which I, at least, would consider the essence of leadership.
"With your indulgence, I will relate some of the characteristics, through personal recollections, to
Walter Dornberger.
"I submit to you that maybe one of the more important, but not often recognized, elements of true leadership
is CHANGE. We live in a changing world and a leader must accept change and he must foster new thinking. In fact,
the trouble with being a leader during some eras is that one can't be sure whether the people are following you or
chasing you.
"The world has changed and Walter Dornberger has changed with it. Although he grew up in a world that
respected tradition, Walter came from a family where independent thinking had deep roots. Nevertheless, in at
least one respect, it was a family custom that'decided his early career. In German families, when he was a young
man, it used to be that the oldest son inherited the family business, the second son went into the Army, and the
third son -- that lucky s. o. b. -- was free to do as he pleased.
"Now Walter was the second son, so -- although he wanted to do as he pleased - and specifically, he wanted
to become an architect -- he enlisted as a volunteer in the German Army in August, 1914, when World War I broke
out, He felt it was his duty to serve his country. After the war ended, he remained in the Anny. He won a
master's degree in mechanical engineering at the Technical University in Berlin where the ArlTlY had sent him.
"When his superior in

this ridiculous toy, a rocket, and make a serious project, let alone a serious weapon,
engineering background, he soon saw there were some possibilities in rocketry.
"And not only as a weapon system, but as he realized very early, a prestige project. And as the years
went by, the second application of rocketry, manned and unmanned flights into space, became his dominant obsession.
In 1932, when we first met, I was 20 and Walter was 38, and he was still a Captain, for promotions were slow in
those pre-Hilter days of the German Anny.
"Walter had just married and he had a very, very beautiful young wife. He called her Haschen, or Bunny.
He doesn't know it, but secretly I adored Bunny, although I never showed it to him. How could I? He was 18
years older than I, he was a Captain, and I was only a student. Walter and his Haschen were one of the happiest
and best suited couples I ever met in my life. Many of you will undoubtedly still remember her. She lived right
here in Buffalo for many years until her untimely death a few years ago. It was a terrible blow to Walter.
"The second ingredient of leadership, I think, is DEDICATION. Truly great leaders must have
dedication to a worthwhile cause. And this is usually a long-range goal which means constancy in
temporary disappointments or small scale victories. In fact, only if you retain a healthy degree
only if you retain the ability to laugh at yourself if you fail, can you really dedicate yourself
and unselfishly to a worthy cause. All the tasks at hand must be channeled toward the attainment
suming long range objective. And the cause must predominant over self.

�"According to the cartoonists, the first words_spoken by creatures from outer space after landing on our
planet are: 'Take me to your leader.' Well, if a space ship had landed in front of me at Peenemuende, and a
little green man had stepped out and spoken these words, I would have taken that little green man straight to
Walter Dornberger. And I believe he would not have been the least bit startled, because he considered space
filled with new and exciting possibilities for man.
"One of the next important ingredients of leadership is FORTITUDE. I think it is closely related to dedi
cation. I mean fortitude of spirit, the ability to stand up under reversals, the ability to learn from mistakes,
to rise from disappointments and push on to the ultimate goal.
"As Commanding Officer in charge of our rocket program, Walter was responsible for attaining specific objectives
which, in those days, were the development and production of solid and liquid fueled rockets. The solid rockets then
were mainly smaller rockets of the short-range artillery variety and the liquid ones, of course, were guided rockets,
such as the later V-2 rockets and the Wasserfall guided anti-aircraft rocket. These were tremendous tasks in those
days, because they had no precedent. Tremendous difficulties were encountered. A new technology was needed to solve
all the many problems. We needed new metals, fuels, new developments of electronics. New gyroscopes were needed.
Most importantly, since there were no experienced people in any of these fields, we had a tremendous training program
of young people on our hands. And last, but not least, our resources were not unlimited.
"Walter Dornberger was determined that the projects would succeed -- despite obstacles, shortages, rivalries
between superiors for control of the program, political intrigues and finally the u,1· ,oidable failures, both on
the static test stands and the launch pads. It was because of his unwavering determination that progress was made
1
"He paved the road from early beginnings of guided missile flights, when almost a hundred per cent failures
were the rule of the day, and success was the rare exception, to the one hundred per cent success record of our
SATURN I program that we just completed under NASA auspices a few months ago.
"Rocketry for space travel is an idea whose time has come. And I think it is probably no overstatement
when I say that there is nothing stronger in this world than an idea whose time has come. It simply cannot be
stopped. So it is small wonder that the public is now supporting Walter Dornberger's vision.
"We have come from a scarcity of funds to impressive funding. I started my own association with rocket work
two years before I met Walter Dornberger, namely at a rocket field near Berlin, where we scraped up resources
from private donors to do a little experimenting in rocketry. This work was finally stopped, and the place closed
down, simply because the Rocket Field Berlin could not pay its water bill. NASA's current budget is 5.2 billion
dollars per year. I think with this kind of budgetary support we could keep paying for the waters rolling over
Niagara Falls.
"Fortitude, supported by a wonderful sense of humor, was probably a speciality of
you many, many incidents where, after a terrible setback, when other people would have
withdrawn to their rooms or taken a walk through the woods, Walter would joke. One of
expressions in Peenemuende, when something blew up again, was: 'Now I told you, it is

�"I remember one particular incident that illustrates his humor. He and I were interned right after the end
of the war by the U. S. Army for interrogation. It was in Garmish-Partenkirchen in Bavaria just a couple of weeks
after the end of the war. The worl'd we had known and our beloved Peenemuende had come to an end and we were facing
an uncertain future.
"Now Walter Dornberger had, as we found out, a promotion in his pocket, effective the 1st of July, 1945. He
was to become Lt. General, but in the meantime the war was over, so of course, that promotion could no longer be
consummated. Nevertheless, we decided, undaunted: 'Well, he has it in writing, so what's wrong with that?'
"As it so happened his Chief of Staff, with all his papers, his military passports and the official stamps of
the office, was also in that internment camp. So, on the morning of the 1st of July, Walter woke up in his room to
hear a group of people singing his favorite songs outside. Then we walked in and said: 'Walter, effective today
you are Lt. General. Where is your military passport?' And his former Chief of Staff signed the papers and put an
official stamp on everything.
"A couple of minutes later, at 9:00 o'clock in the morning, Lt. Col. O'Mara, U. S. Army, with our Camp
Commander, was coming through our rooms to have a cup of coffee. It was very pleasant and gentlemanly in this
camp, and so he would come over in the morning for a little chat. I joined them during the coffee and said:
'Incidentally, Colonel O'Mara, you ought to congratulate General Dornberger. He was just promoted today.'
Colonel O'Mara looked at him and did not quite understand until we actually showed him the official papers.
Well, he had a wonderful sense of humor, too, and added his congratulations. Now, here is Walter's classic
remark: 'Colonel O'Mara, I suggest you let me out of here, the sooner the better. In the hands of these guys,
they will promote me to Field Marshall.'
"HARD WORK is another ingredient of leadership. The years of failures and frustrations were instantly
rewarded when our A-4 rocket, as we then called it, the later V-2, was first launched successfully. But success
came slowly, step by step, because of the perseverance of all workers, their unshakable faith, and their hard
work. And the man who had inspired this team, Walter Dornberger, had set the example by his own hard work. He
was motivated by an inner drive to stick to the task at hand until it was completed.
"I've met a great many people in ITIY time who were enthusiastic about hard work.
them happen to be the men.!_ am working for. And so it was with Walter.
The trouble is, most of
"Next on my list is LOYALTY, and a concern for the others. As a Commanding Officer at Peenemuende,
Walter Dornberger was responsible for the physical well being of all civilian employees as well as military
personnel assigned there. He was concerned about our health. I remember how he encouraged early morning
exercises, calisthenics on the beach - while he himself went hunting.
"But he was always, although he was a military officer, a technical man first. And he readily set aside
the time honored military principles when the job at hand demanded it. Thus, military rank was never at any
time a problem at Peenemuende. During the war, when the original civilian organization of engineers, scientists
and draftsmen was beefed up with military assignees, it was not at all uncommon to see a Major working under the
direction of a Corporal or even under a Private First Class, such as my good friend, Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger.
�"Walter Dornberger's loyalty and courage were demonstrated on 11\Y behalf in at least one case that I can
never forget. In the spring of 1944, as part of an episode of the power play, when the dreaded Heinrich Himmler
started to wrestle control of the newly-developed A-4 rocket from the German Army, I found myself arrested one
fine morning with that famous 2:00 a.m. knock on the door. They accused me of sabotaging the war effort by being
more interested in rocketry for space travel than as a weapon. And furthermore, they charged me -- which was
fantastic -- that I was planning to fly secretly to Enqland, just as Rudolf Hess had done.
"Well, such an accusation, trumped up as it was, was no joking matter in those days. It could have very
easily led me to the firing squad. This was indeed confirmed to Walter, when he checked upstairs on what had
happened and the reasons for my arrest. Well, with no regard for his own safety, Walter promptly flew to Berlin,
charged all over the place, and laid it right on the line. He stated: 'Without Wernher von Braun, you guys might
as well forget about putting the V-2 into operation.
"Now I know full well -- and I know that he did -- that this was not so. The development was practically
completed at that time and I think things would have gone on very well without me. But he risked everything he
had, his career, and I think I am not overstating it, his own life, to get me out of the clink. And he succeeded.
Of course, I need not tell you, I was greatly relieved when the charge was dropped and I was set free. But it is
on occasions like this when you can tell the difference between a friend and a man who pretends to be your friend.
"The next ingredient of leadership is VISION. To recognize and actively promote in the embryonic stage of
German rocketry the potential of large rockets as a means of transportation from one point on earth to another, as
a means to extend the activity of human begins beyond the confines of our own planet, to carry scientific instru
ments and men to the moon and the planets -- these things show the vision and perception that are characteristics
of Walter Dornberger's outstanding personality. He can truly be called a trail blazer.
"I shall never forget the day when the first A-4, the later V-2, passed successfully through the sound barrier
and impacted at a point about 130 miles down range. We had tried a few times, but we had always failed. I think
we had reached the point -- he confided this to me only afterwards -- where this was the last chance we would have
been given. The project would have been closed, all would have been sent out to the Infantry probably, or maybe
shot because of failure, I don't know. Investigations would have taken place, but they had given us this one more
chance, and lo and behold, it worked.
"Of course, we had a little celebration that evening, and we were not just drinking water, either. During
that celebration Walter Dornberger gave a little speech and there was something in that speech that went something
like this:
'Fellows, we know that we have reached an important milestone today in the history of rocketry
and we have come a great deal closer to the objective of this particular development, the develop
ment of a ballistic rocket capable of flying 130 miles. But let us never forget that the most
important thing that has happened today, the thing that history will recall, will be that today
the space ship was born. This 3rd day of October, 1942, is the first day of a new era in tran
sportation into outer space.'

"The climate for remarks like these, in view of what I told you just a little while ago about rey personal
experience, was not exactly conducive to this kind of talk. But Walter did not care about such little details.
That's the way he felt.
"His vision and enthusiasm have always been tempered by technical and scientific realism. Sober, practical
approaches helped turn sometimes nebulous dreams and often overly optimistic speculations of rocket and space
enthusiasts into usable hardware.
"Walter has applied the same traits to his work in his adopted country in the United States. As a consultant
to the United States Air Force, he helped make people aware of the need in the post-war years of the establishment
of an adequate ballistic missile program. He was one of the lonely voices in the wilderness, when nobody feared
that the Russians were building just such missiles. And when we finally found out how far along they really were,
near panic broke out. And then his words were heeded.
"He is also an outspoken champion for an adequate aerospace transportation system involving rocket-boost
glide systems. The high velocity aircraft and the maneuverable manned space vehicle go back to his own early
proposals, which led ultimately to the establishment of the now tabled Dyna Soar project.
"But right now, we are back in the process of studying such reuseable re-entry vehicles, because obviously
we cannot go on forever making a national emergency out of every astronaut landing in the Atlantic Ocean. We
have to learn to land these spacecraft back on airfields.
"The current issue of Astronatics and Aeronautics, one of our leading trade journals, features his article,
entitled: 'The Recoverable, Reuseable Space Shuttle.1 Walter Oornberger asked in this article if we are not
thinking on too small a scale in our approach to space. He calls for a large multi-purpose space station in
close earth orbit and a recoverable, reuseable space transporter, which he calls a 'shuttle.' There is just one
sentence in this article I want to quote to you, because it conveys a pretty good message of what he is trying
to say:
'Every man in a space station circling the globe should have a fresh egg on his breakfast
table every day brought up from earth.'

I am sure that we do not have to wait twenty years for that prediction to come true.
"I know Walter appreciates the freedom in this country to be outspoken on projects he believes in. He did
not always have it so good. He had to watch his words quite carefully in those closing days of the war, when
people did not like deviations from the party line.
but I'm sceptical, and optimistic. I hope we shall continue to have the benefit
"He says he is retiring
of his wisdom and experience in the years ahead and I do hope, Walter, that you will not 'shut up.'
�"Ladies and Gentlemen, I cannot finish my remarks about my friend and mentor, Walter Dornberger, without
praise for the leadership in space of our United States Presidents.
"NASA was created under the administration of President Eisenhower and our element of the Army, the
Army Ballistic Missile Agency, became an element of NASA under direct orders by President Eisenhower, issued.
in 1960. President Eisenhower came personally to Huntsville to inaugurate this new NASA center in Huntsville
that has now become known as the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. It is NASA's largest center, and the
center in charge of development of the big rockets to carry an American to the moon, and hopefully, bring him
back alive. President Eisenhower was very personally involved in the beginning in the laying of the foundation
for the work we are doing today.
"Then there was, of course, the unforgettable commitment made by President John F. Kennedy, when he said
that he thought it was a good idea if this country would commit itself to putting an American on the moon in
this decade. You know how enthusiastically Congress responded to this challenge. From the outset we have enjoyed
a fiscal and budgetary and programmatic stability in our NASA program that all of us considered downright impossible
before this commitment. The moon, after all, is there� and everybody knows what it is. When the President of the
United States commits this country to putting a man on the moon in this decade, he lays down a pretty hard set of
specifications, specifications that establish clearly in space and time what the job is. But we should not confuse
this immediate goal with the long-range objective. The moon is as important and as unimportant to our manned
space flight program as the city of Paris was in Lindbergh's famous flight when he soloed the Atlantic. Had
Lindbergh's sole objective been to go to Paris, he could have taken a boat and it would have been far more com
fortable for him. But he tried something else. He tried to demonstrate that the time had come when planes were
safe to cross the Atlantic, because he wanted to lay the groundwork for commercial airplanes to follow his trail
blazing demonstration.
"And so it is with the moon today.
cosmic Paris.
The moon, you might say, has become, thanks to President Kennedy, our
"Finally, there is President Lyndon B. Johnson. As a Senator, he introduced the bill that created NASA.
As Vice President, he was chairman of the National Space Council. And as President, he has lent his full
personal dynamic leadership to the continuation of the space program, not only within the framework of the
commitment made by President Kennedy, but he has committed us far beyond that. Recently, he stated and I
quote:
'We expect to explore the moon, not just visit it or photograph it. We plan to explore
and chart other planets as well. We shall expand our laboratories on earth into space
laboratories and we shall extend our national strength into the space dimension.'
"With this firm support by three United States presidents, and the continuing encouragement of Congress,
I think we can rest assured of a promising, golden future in pursuing those star-inspired aims which
Walter Dornberger stood for.
"Thank you. 11

August 3, 1964
TO ALL FORT BLISS OLDTIMERS:
There is sadness in our hearts. One of our members has departed
from our ranks. Doctor Alfred Henning died on May 10, 1964. This
sadness will eventually be replaced by the memory of a strong man who
loved life and stood for what he believed in. 1 1 Doc" was the kind of man
who inspires younger generations with professional know-how and
enthusiasm. He was a good man.
Enclosed is your copy of the long awaited publication on our 1963
reunion. I am certain you will agree that it was worth waiting for. Our
special thanks goes lo our members at the General Electric Company
for sponsoring this book. Also lo Dr. Fred Schultz, Director of GE's
Huntsville Apollo Support Department and his fine staH. But our space
helmet comes off for Sheldon Steuer who did a tremendous job as
coordinator, added spark to the layout and had fun doing it all.
We have had several inquiries concerning the book 11Damals 1n
Peencmuendc 11 by Ernst Klee and Otto Merk. It was published by the
Gerhard Stalling Verlag, Oldenburg, Germany. To our knowledge, it
was printed only in German. IL is an excellent documentary with many
original pictures and papers. Introduction Lo Lhe book was written by
Dr. Walter Dornbcrgcr, and the epilogue by Dr. Wernher von Braun.
The book is available in Huntsville at the Book Inn, Heart of Huntsville
Shopping Center. At least we know of several small shipments to that
store during the past couple of month.
That's about it for now.
Best regards and good wishes to all.
