Helmut Groettrup…the captured Russian [Dr. Von Braun, the American hero…], who was Russian POW rocket scientist! Operation Paperclip recruited German engineers to the U.S., and Special Mission V-2 transported V-2 parts to White Sands Proving Grounds, from which programs with animals in space and the Bumper rocket were conducted. Fig. 194. Helmut Groettrup (1916-81) was a German rocket engineer, who as a POW was taken to Russia and headed German design group at Kapustin Yar Cosmodrome. He was a rocket guidance expert, and worked at Peenemunde, after the war heading the German rocket team, 1945-53, which and later headed German rocket team in Russia, 1945-1953. Basically as a POW, Groettrup headed a group of also capture German rocket scientists that fired the first V-2 rockets for the Russians at Kapustin Yar in 1946. It was successful development of the R-1 to R-11 rocket program which gave the Russians the real boost power into orbital space, hence the first Sputnik in orbit! The Russians were of their word, and released the team to return home to Germany in 1953, after having developed all these models (below) for the Soviet missile program, working concurrently with the Russian Sergei Korolev team. . . Moreover, and significantly so for the American reader (the Stateside plebiscite, which was served a Dr. Von Braun as an American decorated Nazi hero), that Groettrup was never a Soviet Hero and never received a single Kremlin, in fact, all the rocket engineers were returned home, albeit used for their knowledge, and written off… It is significant to realize and understand for on
