Скачать или смотреть Nazi Germany's Underground War Machine: The V-2 Tunnels Explained

1943 Allied bombers destroyed Germany's rocket factories at Peenemünde. Mission accomplished... right?

Wrong.
The V-2 rockets kept launching. London kept burning. Antwerp kept getting hit. Thousands of rockets—and the Allies had no idea where they were coming from.
The secret? Germany moved the entire V-2 program underground.
Deep inside the Kohnstein mountain, Nazi engineers carved out Mittelwerk—a massive tunnel complex invisible from the air. Two main tunnels. Dozens of side galleries. An entire weapons factory hidden beneath rock and earth.
Trains rolled directly into the mountain. Rockets were assembled in the dark. Fuel stored underground. Bombs couldn't touch it.
Despite total Allied air superiority, Germany built over 6,000 V-2 rockets inside those tunnels. The weapon that should have died in 1943 kept terrorizing Europe until 1945.
But the tunnels came with a horrifying cost: thousands of forced laborers died building and working inside them—from exhaustion, starvation, and brutal conditions.
The tunnels protected Germany's most advanced weapon... but became mass graves for those who built it.
This is the story of how Hitler hid his war machine inside a mountain—and why even total air dominance couldn't stop it.
