HEERESVERSUCHSANSTALT KUMMERSDORF: After the failure of the Blitzkrieg in the East, there was hope that the new weapons technology there would still contribute decisively to victory. Among other things, Wernher von Braun developed the A1 and A2 liquid-fuel rocket engines – until the relocation to Peenemünde in 1936. However, due to space constraints, no larger rockets could be launched in Kummersdorf itself. From 1939 onwards, work also began on the uranium project in Kummersdorf .
