Even what could have been their biggest triumph became nothing more than a terrorist weapon.

The A-4 rocket was far in advance of anything even in the US, it could have been a wonderful research tool.

Instead it was used as a near-random terrorist weapon, the "V-2."

So Darwin's theories were likewise corrupted by Nazis, to "justify" their vicious racial policies.
