This collection contains the transcripts for the Peenemünde Interviews Project which examines the development of the German Peenemünde complex from the early 1930s through World War II. This rocket test center designed the V-2 missiles that terrorized Britain during 1944-45. The collection consists of 39 hours of interviews with 13 individuals. This project constitutes one of several oral history efforts conducted within the National Air and Space Museum's (NASM) Department of Space History. The principal investigator for this project was Michael Neufeld and the following individuals were interviewed: Wernher von Braun, Konrad Dannenberg; Walter Haeussermann; Karl Heimberg; Helmut Hoelzer; Fritz Mueller; Hermann Oberth; Eberhard Rees (with Mrs. Rees); Gerhard Reisig; Arthur Rudolph; Bernhard Tessman (with Karl Heimburg); Georg von Tiesenhausen; and Walter Wiesman.

The Peenemünde Interviews project is arranged alphabetically by interviewee. Box 1, 2 and 3 contain the interviews on cassette tapes. These tapes have yet to be remastered and, due to their fragility, are not available to researchers. All of the transcripts located in Box 4 are available to researchers.
