Thanks for the link.

The story actually starts well before WW 2, back in the times of the rise of the Nazis and the times of Stalin's madnesss. And actually back before that, during WWI, during Oberth's service and Lenin's rise to power. Hell, you could start it before that, at a miniumum with Tsiolkovsky, and further if desired, to Verne and Wells.

I don't recognize the author's name from among the technical folks, but now that most of the details have been dug out, the professional historians are starting to work on accounts, including those more fluent in the languages used in the documents.

I wonder if Russian TV will be providing a new account. Perhaps it would present them an opportunity for foreign currency earnings. At a minimum their own audience, who paid for all of this, deserve to know how their money was spent.
