Rocket Museum in Penemuende, Germany

photoblog-day-248-b.jpg

My visit to the Castle Air-force Museum brought back memories from my visit to the Rocket  Museum in Penenmuende, Germany in January of 2008.  I photographed this V1 (buzzbomb) outside the museum. TheV1 and V2 were largely produced through concentration camp workers. In one of exhibition halls were suitcases of those slave laborers who were literally worked to death. Photographing those suitcases showed me the reality of the Nazi regime. A horrible statistic of the V2 rocket: More people were killed making it than though the actual usage. It made me also aware how precious peace is.
