Components of an Aggregat 4 (V2) long-range ballistic missile, date and location unknown, although the photo was possibly taken at Mittelwerk GmbH near Nordhausen, likely immediately after the cessation of hostilities. In the background: the rocket's main body (left) as well as a tail section with fins (right). In the foreground: a turbopump (left) and the corresponding rocket engine (right).
