However, #BritishIntelligence hadn't been aware of the rocket's existence until early 1943, as experts told the #BBC in the 1977 documentary #TheSecretWar. "There'd been a little information before 1939 that the Germans might be developing long-range rockets," said #DrRVJones, the Chief of #ScientificAirIntelligence.

    "Then we heard nothing more until December 1942, when a new agent, who turned out to be a Danish chemical engineer, told us he'd overheard a conversation in Berlin between two engineers who said that there was a new weapon being developed and tried up on the Baltic coast."

    The turning point came in 1943, when two #German generals who had been captured separately were brought to #Britain for #interrogation

    What’s the bet, this was conducted at the #LondonCage?
