03 - The Nazi and the Moon - Dora

** Warning. This podcast episode contains descriptions some listeners may find disturbing. Due to the nature of the history involved in the Nazi rocket production and the lives it destroyed, an understanding of the conditions of what those within the camp suffered is necessary so that we do not become complacent to history.**

After the air raid on Peenemünde the Nazi regime realises that the allies know something about the program. If the A-4 rocket is to be produced it needs to be produced where the enemies bombs cannot reach and produced in large numbers as to be an effective weapon, for this they created a concentration camp by the name of Dora, this episode is about the conditions and the fate of many of those that were forced to produce Wernher von Braun's rockets.
