German V-2 Ballistic Missile (½ scale replica)

The team of rocket scientists and engineers led by Wernher von Braun were working toward human space travel when the Nazis put them to work designing terror weapons. The V-2 was by far the most advanced rocket in the 1940s, and led directly to the American and Soviet rockets that took the first humans into space.
