Forget Iron Sky, Nazi Moon bases and Nazi UFOs, the real story of Nazis in space is much more fascinating and completely true. The Nazis put the first man-made object into space as early as 1942, fifteen years before Sputnik! Find out the full story here.
Dr. Mark Felton is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers 'Zero Night' and 'Castle of the Eagles', both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood. In addition to writing, Mark also appears regularly in television documentaries around the world, including on The History Channel, Netflix, National Geographic, Quest, American Heroes Channel and RMC Decouverte. His books have formed the background to several TV and radio documentaries. More information about Mark can be found at: en.wikipedia.o...

I'd just like to point out that the term "dark side of the moon" is nonsensical. There is no dark side of the moon, as all sides get sunlight depending on the moon's position. There is however a "far side" of the moon, which is the one that's facing opposite Earth. The moon is tidally locked to the Earth, not the Sun.

Germany got tremendous help from Robert Goddard's rocketry work. Goddard invented the self-cooling, gimbaled, liquid fuel rocket engine and was launching impressive rockets during the 1930's. Germany followed his work very closely. Goddard had about 200 patents on rocket developments. Then in 1936, Germany surpassed Goddard and cut off all contact with him. Goddard approached the US Army at that point with his rocket developments. The Army laughed, then showed him the door. After the war, US Army officers asked German engineers how they came up with the V2. They replied, "Go ask your own Doctor Goddard." The US Army officers replied, "Who?" Goddard invented rockets, but Germans like Werner Von Braum engineered the hell out of it and scaled it up, greatly.
