Dear Journal,
The United States seems to be the best country to latch onto now. My fellow rocket designers despise the French,
are terrified of the Russians, and consider the British too poor to afford our
services. We plan to be captured by the US army at Oberammeragau.
We have also hid years of ground-breaking research and test logs at Dornten in a mine shaft. The work there is a priceless starter kit for rocket development, and it must not fall into bad hands.
I have been immensely bothered that Germany have used slave labor to construct the rockets we created. And the Vengenace Weapon 2 that we developed at Peenemunde has killed thousands. That is why we should transfer to the U.S.. Not only are they the most
technologically superior of the allied powers, but also the most humane in policy. The ultimate purpose of the rocket is to achieve spaceflight and such destruction of people and property is a
tragedy.
