Now everyone knows that Hitler's Third Reich was an "evil empire" that challenged humanism and democracy. But with all this, the Third Reich was the state in which the technologies of the future were created. The designers of Nazi Germany managed to make a breakthrough that predetermined the movement of progress for decades to come. It is possible that if the Reich existed for several more years, its pilots could become the first people on Earth to go into space. The rocket developments of German scientists and astronauts of the Third Reich are described in a new book by Anton Pervushin from the Battle for the Stars cycle.
