ResumoThe transfer of German rocket technology to the USSR's guided-missile and space programs has long been recognized as important, at least outside the former Soviet bloc. But it is only since the end of the cold war that historians and military specialists could construct a reasonably accurate depiction of the process by which the Soviets rapidly assimilated this technology and then cast aside the German scientists and engineers who had been brought to the USSR against their will. Memoirs in German and Russian, above all those of the leading Soviet rocket engineer Boris Chertok, plus interviews and published documents, were the raw material for a number of books, most notably Asif Siddiqi's excellent and encyclopedic Challenge to Apollo: The Soviet Union and the Space Race, 1945-1974.
