Product Information
Missiles for the Fatherland was the first scholarly investigation of the culture underpinning missile development at Germany's secret missile base at Peenemünde. Michael Petersen's research reveals a complex interaction of professional ambition, internal cultural dynamics, military pressure, and political coercion, which coalesced daily life at the facility.

Review of the hardback: 'This book examines an important and fairly well studied subject from a different perspective by providing an anthropological and sociological study of the German rocket engineers. The social context and environment of the German rocket R & D effort in Peenem nde and elsewhere had a decisive influence on the rocket engineers and scientists and encouraged them to work on new weapons in what became a Faustian Pact with Hitler's regime. There was not that much difference between the production engineers supplied by the Armaments Ministry and the SS and the staff at Peenem nde when it came to slave labor and other issues. The Peenem nders' obsession with secrecy dovetailed with the goals and methods of the SS, and their conviction that the survival of the German nation depended on the rockets they were building diminished their concern for other groups (like POWs and concentration camp prisoners).' Mark Walker, Union College, 'This book examines an important and fairly well studied subject from a different perspective by providing an anthropological and sociological study of the German rocket engineers.

Mark Walker, Union College, Review of the hardback: 'Michael Petersen's Missiles for the Fatherland is an important study of the co-optation and seduction of engineers and scientists by the Nazi regime. He demolishes once-and-for-all the myth that the Peenem nde rocket engineers were apolitical technocrats more interested in going into space than building weapons. He demonstrates the intimate connection between their technical work, carried out in deepest secrecy, and the murderous exploitation of concentration-camp workers in the V-2 production program.' Michael J. Neufeld, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, "Michael Petersen offers a new and disturbing account of the German missile community under the Nazis at the clandestine Peenemünde facility that developed the V-2 rocket. These were not apolitical engineers blithely lost in mathematical equations and dreams of space travel, but astute professionals dedicated to destroying Germany's enemies while serving their own careers. Worse, the missile team's privileged status, comfortable living conditions, cloak of secrecy, and sense of national mission fostered knowing complicity in the crimes of the regime they served - crimes with which they and their work shall always be associated. An essential look the perilous relationship between science and dictatorship." -Norman J.W.
