[edit] Summary

Description

Group of 104 German rocket scientists in 1946, including Wernher von Braun[1] and Arthur Rudolph. The group had been subdivided into two sections: a smaller one at White Sands Proving Grounds for test launches and the larger at Fort Bliss for research.[1] Many had worked to develop the V-2 Rocket at Peenemünde Germany and came to the U.S. after World War II, subsequently working on various rockets including the Explorer 1 Space rocket and the Saturn (rocket) at NASA.

Date

after January 11, 1946
Chronology: Most subjects in this photo were in Shipment 1[1] that traveled to the US on the SS Argentina that arrived on November 16, 1945.[5] Shipment 3[1] arrived via the Victory ship Central Falls on February 3, 1946[4] included Dieter Huzel, who MSFC does not list as in the photo. However, since subjects 7, 22, and 77 are unidentified by the MSFC image key, additional personnel listed at Fort Bliss in January 1947 by the JIOA[6] are included in the Alphabetical list below for reference. One Argentina passenger was Magnus von Braun, who is pictured at Dornberger-Axter-von Braun.gif and has a similar appearance to subject 7.
The first group of seven (prior to Shipment 1), including Wernher von Braun, had departed Orly Field in France on September 18, 1945 in a C-54 Skymaster to Newcastle Army Air Base in the US are in the image, but six of that group (without von Braun) did not leave Aberdeen Proving Ground for El Paso until January 11 1946.[4] Additionally, Shipment 2[1] arrived on the USS Florence Nightingale that reportedly docked on 8 April 1946. However, a different source claims the Florence Nightingale group arrived December 6, 1945 and included Hans Lindenberg,[4] and Huzel confirms being informed on arrival at Fort Hunt VA that Hans Lindenberg had died at Fort Bliss (Huzel's group departed for Fort Bliss on February 21, 1946.)[1]
