{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
But the testant crew were almost doing assembly line testing virtually on testant 8.
[00:39:55]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
It was, it was. It was an assembly line, and I could only say that I kept so busy I had no time to think about that. [[laughter]] Their own life.
[00:40:11]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Um, so, I guess, I'm trying to think if there's anything else left.
[00:40:22]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
You talked about the [[?]] before in 1944, and I guess we said just about everything there was to say, I mean that project was completed?
[00:40:35]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
The project was completed.
[00:40:36]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
But, but never used?
[00:40:38]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Never used. Not that I know of. You know after we had left Peenemünde we had nothing to do anymore with the Air Force, so they probably worked on their own.
[00:40:53]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
I know only from [[?]], [[?]] was in the Middelvac, but he was concerned with a small [[?]].
[00:41:00]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Typhoon.
[00:41:02]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Typhoon.
[00:41:03]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Did you have anything to do with Typhoon at all?
[00:41:08]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Nothing. Nothing at all. That was [[?]] business.
[00:41:12]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
So that was carried on pretty much by this [[?]] officer [[?]]. Where was his location in the organization? Who was he under?
[00:41:20]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
In the organization he was under me, right. But after, he had his own project, his Typhoon, then he was strictly only under the Air Force.
[00:41:35]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
And they had a major there, I forgot the name, who was in charge of the total Air Force operation, Air Force group.
[00:41:48]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
This, was it under the label of [[?]]?
[00:41:53]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
[[?]].
[00:41:54]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
[[?]]. Did they have a distinct location? In other words, a building or, uh, distinct offices separate from you?
[00:42:07]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
They had, they had an office in our headquarter building, but that's all I can say.
[00:42:16]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
It wasn't like they were concentrated all in one place? Or, you know.
[00:42:22]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Like we at Peenemünde, yes. But you had people who were responsible for the manufacturing that was a Lieutenant Minning. He came here, too. He's somewhere on the East coast.
[00:42:38]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
How do you spell that?
[00:42:41]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
M-I-double N-I-N-G.
[00:42:44]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Okay, straightforward. Okay, Minning, right?
[00:42:47]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Minning.
[00:42:47]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
I don't need to write that down.
[00:42:49]
