editLOL! - that is crazy: I was writing up a Bernard Newman article in notepad last night (the 24th).. but looks like you beat me to it. Not a bad thing though - it looks at least as good as mine (EDIT: much better actually). Wow.. sorry, but that is mental. Must be the weather :P --
- Sorry to have beaten you :-) If you have any additions, improvements, ..., feel free to add them of course. Fram (talk) 12:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Bernard Newman's discovery of the Peenemunde Rocket Research in 1938
editBernard Newman Grandson here. It has long been a family topic that Bernard Newman stumbled over the Peenemunde Rocket Research Centre in September 1938, during the research for the book "Baltic Roundabout" 1939. It was not mentioned in the book, but mentioned several times in later books. It is possible that BN reported his findings to the British, a full year before the "Oslo Report" which in current articles, is the first mention of the V weapons.
BN followed his discovery with his usual broad treatment. A radio script "Now it can be told", a book "They Saved London" followed by the film "Battle of the V1" and several mentions of the incident in books on espionage.
My only sources are his own writings, and this might not pass the test for wiki entries, but I am going to start with an edit on his page and see if it is satisfactory
I am interested to see if this post is notified to previous contributors to the page.
