Wernher von Braun Speaking at the Alabama Space & Rocket Center's Dedication

[@ReveredDead]

A testament to German intelligence and ingenuity. Many major technological advancements of the 20th century came from the mind of a German engineer. Not all but many.

At the cost of Jewish slaves

exactly and no one wants to believe it

[@danielmolinar8669]

@@falke_blade9341 The mainstream media and yt says otherwise, especially when it comes to Braun. They love to praise him a little

[@randbarrett8706]

And a testament to our tolerance for things like slavery Braun directly observed people being worked to death to build his weapons It’s fitting that Alabama honors Braun as white Alabamians famously enjoyed enslaving and killing people they considered racially inferior

[@zucaritasenjoyer7259]

What an inspiring gentelman, I wonder what he was doing 25 years before

[@MelvinMartin-w1e]

Among any number of things he designed and developed the V1 and V2 rockets that allowed Germany to rain down bombs on London and destroyed much of it in WWII.

[@randbarrett8706]

People in Alabama like Braun because they had the same attitude regarding the enslavement of people considered racially inferior

Proud to be born raised and will die in Alabama. Oh and Roll Tide

[@lukei.1227]

They almost put this guy in charge of DARPA.

I’m sure southerners enjoyed Braun talking about all the stuff he was able to build with slave labor
