Just an additional note---
THE ROCKET AND THE REICH contains an extensive (14 pages) bibliography of
primary and secondary sources on the history of
the V-2. Neufeld also discusses how to access the archives of
WW II German documents in the US, Britain and Germany. The records in
the US and Britain are on microfilm and are apparently better organized and
more accessible than the paper originals in Germany.
