As fans anticipate the release of the film "Iron Sky" we ask was there ever a real Nazi space program ?
While its been the subject of conspiracy theories for decades, to date there is no evidence that the Germans had ever built a space program during World War 2. There were certainly major advances in rocketry however these were developed for military purposes only, it wasn't until after the war that the US and Russia started to turn this technology towards the stars.Sci-fi enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists tend to obsess about the possibilities of a space-faring Third Reich. Robert A. Heinlein authored a tale about a German lunar base as early as 1947. Nowadays, fans are abuzz for the 2012 release of "Iron Sky," the Finnish film full of scene-chewing space Nazis and swastika-stamped spaceships.
