The V-2 rocket
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket
"The V-2 rocket (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, lit. 'Vengeance Weapon 2'), with the development name Aggregat-4 (A4), was the world's first practical, modern ballistic missile and suborbital launch vehicle.[4] The missile, powered by a liquid-propellant rocket engine, was developed during the Second World War in Nazi Germany as a "vengeance weapon" and assigned to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings of German cities."
Nazi's are the good guys only when they work for the U.S.

- themaninthedark 1mo agoKonstantin Tsiolkovsky would like to have a word with you for saying that rockets were first developed by Nazis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Tsiolkovsky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Tsiolkovsky IBM was a US company, just because the Nazis used their computers doesn't make computers bad. Just because something was once used by bad people or for bad things doesn't mean that it is bad. After all, books were written by Hitler and the Nazis and I would hope that you aren't willing to paint all literature as being in the same light.
