Abstract :
[en] It's nice to see a more realistic picture painted of von Braun. Interestingly, I actually knew Wernher von Braun somewhat. My real concern, however, is not with von Braun but with memories and history in general. Access to written history (which, as Churchill was not the first to note, is written by the victors) is now easier than ever, while all of those old enough to remember World War II will probably be dead within the next twenty years. How will future historians decide which of conflicting accounts is closer to the truth?
