Gerhard Zucker and others attempting to develop postal rockets in the 1930s.
Slate refers to efforts to overcome problems with compressed powder rockets. A large crowd is gathered to watch a demonstration of a Zucker mail rocket. Gerhard Zucker walks ahead and left of Several uniformed Brown Shirts, AKA Nazi Stormtrooper (Sturmabteilung) as they carry a large rocket down some stairs at a beach. Uniformed Hitler youth (Hitlerjugend) are also seen in the crowd of spectators. A cinematographer sets up his camera on structure near the water. Next, the rocket is seen set upon its inclined launching stand as Zucker makes ready the four rockets on each side of the large mail carrier. Closeup of Zucker doing this as another person deposits mail through a door atop the rocket body. Scene shifts to the Wadden Sea off Cuxhaven,on April 9, 1933, where Zucker follows Nazi Stormtroopers carrying the mail rocket across wet sands. Spectators stand shoulder-to-shoulder atop a hill in the background.Zucker standing alone next to the rocket. He and an assistant ignite the 8 side rockets and the mail rocket takes off. But, instead of heading straight, it noses up and loops over backwards, falling to the sand. Stormtroopers lift up the damaged device. Later, Zucker is seen designing a launch with concentric guide rings. He made several attempts in 1934 and 1935, to convince British Royal Mail officials of the viability of rocket mail. He is seen in the last attempt on the Isle of Wight, in January, 1935, standing by his rocket, surrounded by English spectators. His launch stand with concentric rings is clearly seen. He places mail in the rocket body and drops it down through the rings on the launch stand, ignites it and it appears to take off smoothly.(It actually failed.)

Glimpses during production of German science fiction film, "Frau im Mond,"(Woman in the Moon).
Scenes from the production, during 1928, of the German science fiction movie, Woman in the Moon (Frau im Mond) that premiered in 1929. The director, Fritz Lang, received technical advice from rocketry and space flight theorist, Hermann Oberth. Two men walk to a large mockup of the film spacecraft rocket sitting in an open field. A hinged model of the spacecraft rocket opens showing its interior. Shots of the rocket moving in a hangar and then moving out of the hangar. The rocket firing and racing into the sky, and a booster rocket detaching from it. Other rockets depicted moving across the night sky.
Montage of pictures concerning the German Pietsch-Heylandt rocket car.
Manufacturing scenes of the liquid fueled Pietsch-Heylandt rocket car. Framework showing internal fuel tanks. A man sitting in the framework, manipulating a fuel valve on the floor. The car's rocket engine being fired up and the framework car moving along pavement, outside the factory, in May, 1931 A completed car with "Heylandt" painted on its side, moving along pavement, with two men inside. Rocket exhaust visible at rear. They test drive the car around in a town. Rocket car being refueled for demonstrations at the Tempelhof airdrome, in Berlin.
Dr. Johannes Winkler and his designs for Liquid fueled rockets.
German Rocket pioneer Johannes Winkler and his liquid fueled HW2 rocket. Diagrammatic drawing of the HW2 liquid fueled rocket, that Winkler designed based on his prior experience with the HW1c. He considered liquid fuel the key to achieving stratopheric heights. Dr. Winkler in his laboratory with rocket models. He is seen outdoors, setting the HW2 on a launch stand. Views of the HW2 ready for launching. View of data recording devices built by Dr. Winkler. Cold fumes seen from liquid oxygen. View inside laboratory of HW2 with its data instrumentation. Original Shear diagrams for the HW1c and HW2 rockets. The HW2 in its casing and a cutaway drawing of it. View of quick opening valve for liquid methane and liquid oxygen.

Dr. Johannes Winkler, rocket pioneer. Laboratory workers pose next to outer casing of HW2 liquid fueled rocket. Dr. Winkler making adjustment on the HW2. View of HW2 standing on its tail on the ground beside the launch control building. Assistant holds slate warning of explosions, and Winkler and his assistants toast the rocket's completion by drinking beer from bottles. Camera pans vertically over the rocket. Winkler opens a flush door in the rocket and places something inside. Winkler seen describing features of the rocket for the camera, while his staff stands nearby.
The German Air Sports Association is absorbed into the Experimental Department of the German Air Guard in 1934
Rolf Engel led a 1933 study group on special problems of liquid fueled rocket engines. Engel and members of the study group are seen at work. Beginning of a standardization and classification for the rocket problems. A diagram showing characteristics of rocket engines with standard nomenclature. A man with standardized rocket engine testing equipment. View of the standardized 6-copy multiple professional device for recording rocket engine performance. The work of Rudolf Nebel on the Rocket field of Berlin-Reinickendorf was continued under the leadership of Fritz Beck of the testing department of the German air guard (LSS) in 1933. But it was canceled in the spring of 1934 when the LSS took over direction of the German Air Sports Association. Letters to the Association noting that lessons of World War One point out the value of the Associations technical capabilities to National defense. They also mention matters of particular interest to the German Air Guard, such as rockets and Rocket torpedoes.
