V-2 |
Like most of the museum, the gallery in which the V-2 (along with the V-1) is located is very compact, meaning that it's difficult to photograph a large artifact in its entirety. The V-2 is displayed with a mannequin representing a forced laborer; there's a sign noting that more than twice as many people died manufacturing the V-2 than were killed when used in anger. The V-2 itself is on a transporter of some sort, and the instrumentation compartment is open. The engine is also exposed, allowing a view of the engine in-situ. I have a number of resources regarding the V-2 missile and its engine. |
