Stealing Hitler’s Rocket

Join Guy Walters to hear the incredible story of how one of Adolf Hitler’s top secret V2 rockets was stolen by the Poles and smuggled to Britain in the most extraordinary operation of the Second World War. More extraordinary still, this neglected story is one that changed the course of history forever. The V2 rocket was part of Hitler’s plan to break British morale, but intelligence chiefs knew about the weapon and hatched a plan with the Polish resistance forces to steal one of these rockets out from underneath the Führer’s nose.
