Um, sorry, I never implied that Von Braun and his cohorts spent their days designing a futuristic television set at the Peenemunde laboratories as part of Hitler's final solution. However, it is a matter of fact that television was in fact ONE of the things that scientist were working with at those labs. One must consider how new the idea of television was at the time. I am sure that plenty of military heads were scratched in wonder of what possible application that television could play from a military standpoint.
