It will be interesting to see if the populace is gearing their science and technology to war in the 1920-30s. I'm with you on the space stuff. I also don't know what's been done or what's available, so this should be a fun project. :) Thanks for the thoughts Jeremy.

I'd be curious to know how much of the discussion of science/tech in Germany was more rhetorical or perceived strength than substantive. There seemed to be a great deal of secrecy with military technology, which could lead to "imaginations running wild," so to speak. I suspect you could do some nice propaganda analysis, of how science/tech were used to symbolize or demonstrate German superiority. The image you use in the post seems like a good example of this. Of course, I don't know what sources are available for this, or if other work on this has already be done. But I have a thing for 40s-60s space posters, and how people imagine space life and travel to be, so I'd really like this angle. :) Interesting topic, Ammon.
