From Peenemünde to Cape Canaveral, and Beyond

Werner Hengst was born in 1936 and grew up in the North of Germany in a little town named Peenemünde. His father, Dr. Gerhard Hengst, was a physicist who worked with Wernher von Braun on the German rocket research in WWII. In August, 1943, the entire town was destroyed in a bombing raid. After the war, Werner's father was asked to come to the US to work on the American rocket and space program. The family moved to Cape Canaveral, Florida, and started a new life. This book is the account of growing up in wartime Germany, the adventures of immigrating to the US, and a life-time of keen observation of nature, both animal and human.
