In 1944, the Nazis unveiled the V2, the world's first ballistic missile. But the supersonic weapon, designed by Wernher von Braun, hid a dark secret: over 20,000 slave laborers died manufacturing it. This is the unbelievable story of the US intelligence agent, Major Robert B. Staver, who hunted down von Braun not for justice, but for his knowledge. Witness the true cost of the V2 and the controversial Operation Paperclip—the secret deal that brought von Braun, a former SS Major, to America, allowing him to trade his Nazi past for a future leading NASA's race to the moon.
