Helmut "Kräuse" is Helmut Krause, and I think he is deceased. Also Adolf K Thiel is deceased.

Close up single person photos may be harder come by?

David Irving is of course an imfamous Nazi author who denies that Auschwitz ever took place ... not exactly a good source, I think.

I think Michael Neufeld from the Smithsonian wrote an excellent book about the Peenemündians - The Rocket and the Reich. It is very well researched, historically sound, and a good read too. I think a pocket book edition is also available. Check it out ...

The administrator of this bulletin board closes a discussion.

You can find more information about the Irving case and his trial in London here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/irving/0,2759,181044,00.html

In respect to imagery, the American edition of Ernst Stuhlinger's memoirs has a 2nd volume that contains nothing BUT images. You might find the one or the other treasure there.

British revisionist David Irving (67) has just been arrested in Austria. The Minister of the Interior confirmed that Irving had been arrested in Styria on 11 November based on an arrest warrant by the Vienna District Court. The denial of the Nazi crimes is a criminal offence in Austria. The arrest warrant had been in force since 1989.

Right-wing British historian David Irving, who once famously said that Adolf Hitler knew nothing about systematic slaughter of six million Jews, has been arrested in Austria on warrant accusing him of denying Holocaust.

Irving, 67, was detained November 11 in southern province of Styria on warrant issued in 1989 under Austrian laws that make Holocaust denial crime, police Maj. Rudolf Gollia, spokesman for Interior Ministry, said Thursday.

Hello Phill,

I'm just reading a new book about pre-WWII rocket development in Europe based on papers and diary's by Riedel. These papers were 'locked away' in a museum after Riedel wrote them while he worked at UK Westcott RPE but couldn't get them published. Although a large number of pages are to do with Riedel's involvement with Max Valier ('rocket car')there are quite a number of pages devoted to the A3,A4,A5 vehicles including some photos of original drawings and some computer reworked drawings based on original drawings. Some of these I have not seen before like test stand drawings, rudder schematic,gyro system and so on.

A good book for anyone interested in German "A-rockets" is a book in German called "Raketenforschung in Deutschland" by Dr-ing Gerhard Reising. Fulll of interesting photos and details.

I looked for the photos with autographs I have but there weren't any. Sorry !

I may have a image on CD somewhere of Thiel when it was published alongside his obituary
If I locate it I'll email it.

Have you asked Huntsville Times Photo Dept if they may have any photos of these people?

I'm enjoying reading your messages regarding the Von Braun team. I've been very interested in starting to acquire some of the team's signatures as well, but don't have a good sense of where to start. I haven't seen any references regarding where these folks might be contacted. Any suggestions you could provide would be great.

Thanks,
