{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
So you had the production side you were saying.

[00:42:54]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
A production side for, for the Wasserfall.

[00:42:58]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
MmHmm.

[00:42:59]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
And he was in charge of the first vehicle switch rare manufacture at Peenemünde.

[00:43:05]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Mmhmm.

[00:43:06]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
And, I do not know if he had responsibility to, to transfer and to industry for bigger numbers.
[00:43:16]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
This I have not the slightest idea how that was handled.
[00:43:19]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
I had nothing to do with that.

[00:43:21]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Yeah. I, uh, don't have much information myself.

[00:43:25]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
You know that's the reason that I can't say after we left Peenemünde I do not know, where the Schwimmweste went.

[00:43:31]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
MmHmm.
[00:43:32]


[00:43:31]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
And if the Schwimmweste was ever used.

[00:43:35]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Uh, Tiesenhausen could eventually know that.

[00:43:37]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
MmHmm.

[00:43:41]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Umm, but as far as the presence of the Wasserfall airforce people was the Flakfezushtal people, they were dispersed throughout the installation.

[00:43:53]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
That's right.

[00:43:54]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Mixed in together with the army.
[00:43:56]

[00:43:55]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Mixed together. Correct.

[00:43:56]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Mmhmm.
[00:43:57]

[00:43:57]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Even in the design too.

[00:43:59]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
MmHmm.
[00:44:00]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
They just had, uh, a separate little headquarters office for them outside your headquarters.
[00:44:06]

[00:44:04]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Yeah.

[00:44:05]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Right. Right.

[00:44:07]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
Okay. Umm . . . Now I'm just trying to think of, make sure I've covered all aspects in, the, umm . . .

[00:44:19]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
There's the submarine launch thing that you talked about before but you said you weren't much directly involved in that.
[00:44:27]

[00:44:22]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Yeah.
[00:44:23]

I, I was very little involved in that.

[00:44:29]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
MmHmm.

[00:44:29]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Testman might, might have been more, I believe I'm pretty sure that he was more involved than I was.

[00:44:34]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
MmHmm.
[00:44:35]

[00:44:34]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
He was in test in the design.

[00:44:39]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
MmHmm.
[00:44:40]

[00:44:40]
{SPEAKER name="Karl Heimberg"}
Ya know, tests had the design groups of its, of its own and Test (Testman) was a head of this design group.

[00:44:46]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Neufeld"}
MmHmm.
[00:44:47]

[00:44:46]
