EDITORS COMMENTS
This diagram illustrates the intricate workings of a German V-2 rocket bomb, a lethal weapon that terrorized Europe during the latter stages of World War II. Dating back to 1944, this illustration provides a unique glimpse into the inner workings of this groundbreaking military technology. The V-2, or Vergeltungswaffe 2, meaning "retaliation weapon 2" in German, was the world's first long-range ballistic missile and the first man-made object to reach the edge of space. The diagram showcases the various components of the weapon, including the fuel tanks, engine, guidance system, and warhead. The image also highlights the process of raising the rocket into its firing position, a critical step in the weapon's deployment. The V-2 was launched from a fixed position, making the process of raising the weapon to a vertical position essential for its successful launch. This vintage illustration, taken from The War in Pictures, Sixth Year, offers a fascinating look into the history of wartime weaponry during the 20th century. The Second World War marked a turning point in the development of military technology, and the V-2 rocket bomb was a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time. The intricate details of this engraving provide a captivating visual representation of the complex engineering behind this deadly weapon. As we reflect on the past, it is essential to remember the historical significance of such innovations and the impact they had on the course of world events. This illustration serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that weapons technology played in the Second World War and the enduring influence it continues to have on modern warfare.
