Also, most historians conclude that the lunar missions of the Apollo Program could not have been possible without the leadership and experience provided by a core of engineers, scientists and managers transplanted from Europe to the Unites States after World War II. Hence, these ‘Transplanted Rocket Pioneers’ have particular historical significance. This fact has motivated the Archives of the Library at the University of Alabama in Huntsville to assemble an individual file on each of the people included in several lists of individuals who came from Europe to participate in the rocketry activities in Huntsville, or in a few cases who had other ties to Huntsville. This collection of individual files supplied the data base for preparation of a Summary sheet for each individual. Although most sheets are relatively complete, some data are still missing. For uniformity, a standard format has been adopted for these one-page summaries: The first two lines on each page records fundamental identification information: Family name Date of birth Place of birth Given names Date of death Place of death The next standard entry is a statement of the extent of the Archives Holdings, either i) A Primary collection of documents housed in one or more banker boxes, ii) A secondary collection in a standard archive box, or iii) a file folder. Next, if there is an oral or video history for the individual, this fact is noted. A statement about the highest education levels of the individual follows. The next five entries, in chronological order, record whether the individual participated in activities at five sites: 1st Raketenflugplatz-Kummersdorf, Individuals engaged in the activities at these sites of early rocket development experiments sponsored first by VfR and subsequently by the German Army. 2nd Peenemünde, Included here are individuals who participated in Peenemünde programs under several auspices: as Army civilian employees, as members of the German military, as contractor employees on site or visiting as needed, and university employees collaborating as required. 3rd Fort Bliss, Individuals who were brought to Fort Bliss from 1945 to 1950 4th GMDD-ABMA, Individuals who came to Huntsville, Alabama to work for the US 3 �Army rocket programs in the decade 1950 to 1960. 5th MSFC, Individuals who were employed by the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in the decade 1960-70. Some people had various relationships with UAH and that is so noted. A statement of immigration details is noted if pertinent. Finally, a great variety of incidental information is included under Incidental Remarks. The creation of the data base and summaries described here is only one example of many space history collections and resources housed in the UAH Archives. These collections are available to historians, scholars and students. 4 �ALPHABETICAL LIST, 218 Individuals Adams, Ernst Angele, Wilhelm Axster, Herbert Ball, Erich Bauer, Helmut Bauschinger, Oscar Beduerftig, Hermann Beichel, Rudi Beier, Anton Bergeler, Herbert Blumrich, Josef Boehm, Josef Brandner, Friedrich Braselmann, Ferdinand Bruenecki, Eberhard Bruns, Rudolf Buchhold, Theodor Burose, Walter Cerny, Otto Dahm, Werner Dannenberg, Konrad de Beek, Gerd Debus, Kurt Decher, Rudolf Deppe, Hans Dhom, Friedrich Dobrick, Herbert Dornberger, Walter Drawe, Gerhard Duerr, Friedrich Ehricke, Krafft Eisenhardt, Otto Engler, Erich Engler, Helga Venzke Erbskorn, Karl Eulitz, Werner Evers-Euterneck, Ernst Fehlberg, Erwin Festa, Rudolf Fichtner, Hans Finzel, Alfred Fischel, Eduard Fleischer, Karl Friedrich, Hans Fuhrmann, Herbert Geissler, Ernst Gengelbach, Werner Glaser, Rudolf Goerner, Erich Goethert, Bernhard Goetz, Otto Grau, Dieter Gross, Klaus Gruene, Hans Guendel, Herbert Gustav, Johann Haeussermann, Walter Hager, Karl Hartbaum, Helmut Haukohl, Guenther Heck, Arno Heimburg, Karl Hein, Leopold Hellebrand, Emil Heller, Gerhard Helm, Bruno Henning, Alfred Hermann, Adolf Hermann, Rudolf Herold, Curt Heusinger, Bruno Heybey, Willi Hilten, Heinz Hintze, Guenther Hirschler, Otto Hoberg, Otto Hoelker, Rudolf Hoelzer, Helmut Holderer, Oscar Horn, Helmut Hosenthien, Hans Hueter, Hans Huzel, Dieter Jacobi, Walter Jenke, Richard Jennissen, Joseph Juergensen, Klaus Junegert, Wilheim Kampmeier, Heinz Kaschig, Erich Kennel, Hans Klauss, Ernst 5 Klein, Johann Knothe, Adolf Koelle, Heinz Kraemer, Fritz Kraus, Gerhard Krause, Helmut Kroeger, Arthur Kroeger, Hermann Kroh, Hubert Kroll, Gustav Kuberg, Willi Kuebler, Manfred Kuers, Werner Kuerschner, Helmut Kuettner, Joachim Kurzweg, Hermann Lacker, Herbert Lahser, Heinz Lange, Ernst Lange, Hermann Lange, Oswald Ley, Willy Lindenberg, Hans Lindenmayr, Hans Lindner, Kurt Ludewig, Hermann Luehrsen, Hannes Lusser, Robert Mandel, Carl Manteuffel, Erich Martineck, Hans Maus, Hans Merk, Helmut Michel, Josef Milde, Hans Millinger, Heinz Minning, Rudolf Mrazek, Willi Muehlner, Joachim Mueller, Fritz Nein, Hans Neubert, Erich Neuhoefer, Kurt Nowak, Max Oberth, Hermann Osthoff, Leopold �Paetz, Robert Palaoro, Hans Panzer, Walter Patt, Kurt Paul, Hans Pauli, Fritz Pfaff, Helmuth Polstorff, Walter Poppel, Theodor Prasthofer, Willibald Raithel, Wilhelm Rees, Eberhard Reichert, Rudolf Reilmann, Karl Reisig, Gerhard Rheinfurth, Mario Riedel, Walther III Rosinski, Werner Roth, Ludwig Rothe, Heinrich Rothe, Kurt Rudolph, Arthur Ruppe, Harry Sassenfeld, Helmut Schaefer, Herbert Scharnowski, Heinz Scheufelen, Klaus Schilling, Martin Schlidt, Rudolf Schlitt, Helmuth Schmid, Helmut Schneider, Horst Schnelle, Heinz Schuler, Albert Schulz-Arenstorff, Richard Schulze, Heinrich Schulze, William Schwartz, Friedrich Schwidetzki, Walter Seiler, Ernst Sendler, Karl Sieber, Werner Speer, Fritdjof Sperling, Hans Spohn, Eberhard Stein, Arnold Steinhoff, Ernst Steurer, Wolfgang Struck, Heinrich Stuhlinger, Ernst Tessmann, Bernhard Teuber, Dieter Thiel, Adolf Thomas, Horst Tiller, Werner Tschinkel, Johann Tuebbecke, Julius Urbanski, Arthur Vandersee, Fritz von Braun, Magnus von Braun, Wernher von Pragenau, George von Puttkamer, Jesco von Saurma, Friedrich von Saurma, Ruth von Tiesenhausen, Georg Voss, Werner Vowe, Theodor Wagner, Carl Wagner, Hermann Weber, Fritz Weidner, Hermann Wiesman, Walter Wittman, Albin Woerdemann, Hugo Wuenscher, Hans Zeiler, Albert Zettler-Seidel, Philipp Ziesmer, Erich Zoike, Helmut 6 �Adams, Ernst Wilhelm Feb. 2, 1928 Essen, Germany UAHuntsville Archives holding File folder in Charles Lundquist Collection Education Institute of Technology, Darmstadt, Dr. Ing.

Title A name given to the resource <i>Transplanted Rocket Pioneers</i>. Subject The topic of the resource Engineers Fort Bliss (Tex.) German Americans George C. Marshall Space Flight Center Project Apollo (U.S.) Peenemünde (Germany) Huntsville (Ala.) Madison County (Ala.) Operation Paperclip (U.S.) Description An account of the resource The information in this dataset is reproduced from Charles Lundquist's 2014 monograph Transplanted Rocket Pioneers. The information includes biographical and professional information that he compiled to produce the book. Each individual represented in the dataset also has a vertical file in the Lundquist Collection at UAH. Transplanted Rocket Pioneers is a recognition of the early members of the von Braun rocket team, many of whom were key players in the successful moon landing. Many historians conclude that the lunar missions of the Apollo Program could not have been possible without the leadership and experience provided by a corps of engineers, scientists and managers transplanted from Europe to the Unites States after World War II. This fact motivated Dr. Lundquist to deposit this work in the Archives of the Library at the University of Alabama in Huntsville by assembling a file on each of the individuals who came from Europe to participate in the rocketry activities in Huntsville, or, in a few cases, individuals who had other ties to Huntsville. This dataset includes a standard one-page summary sheet for each subject. Although most sheets are relatively complete, some data are still missing. The first two lines on each page records fundamental identification information: Family name Date of birth Place of birth Given names Date of death Place of death The next standard entry is a statement of the extent of the Archives Holdings, either i) A primary collection of documents housed in one or more banker boxes, usually a separate individual collection ii) A secondary collection in a standard archive box, or iii) a file folder. Next, if there is an oral or video history for the individual, this fact is noted. A statement about the highest education levels of the individual follows. The next five entries, in chronological order, record whether the individual participated in activities at five sites: 1. Raketenflugplatz-Kummersdorf: Individuals engaged in the activities at these sites of early rocket development experiments sponsored first by VfR and subsequently by the German Army. 2. Peenemünde: Included here are individuals who participated in Peenemünde programs under several auspices, including as Army civilian employees, as members of the German military, as contractor employees on site or visiting as needed, and as university employees collaborating as required. 3. Fort Bliss: Individuals who were brought to Fort Bliss from 1945 to 1950. 4. GMDD-ABMA: Individuals who came to Huntsville, Alabama to work for the US Army rocket programs in the decade 1950 to 1960. 5th MSFC: Individuals who were employed by the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in the 1960s. Some people had various relationships with UAH and that is so noted. Additionally, a statement of immigration details is noted if pertinent. Finally, a great variety of incidental information is included under Incidental Remarks. UAH Special Collections welcomes additions of biographical materials to the vertical file in the Charles Lundquist Collection. Please note that the work is that of Dr. Lundquist and may contain errors or omissions which are solely the product of his work on the project, as noted in the introduction of the work.: " Finally, it is pertinent to note that any document containing large files will surely have some mistakes or omission. Any errors are the responsibility of the author alone." As was the wish of Dr. Lundquist, we will strive to make factual corrections to the online copy when necessary.
