The
archive.org article pulled from a NASA web page could not have been written in 1940 as it addresses events years after that. Also the referenced photo of von Braun could not have been taken in 1940 as he was otherwise occupied in Germany manufactureing V2 rockets until 1945 when he was taken into custody by American authorities. He would have been at Ft. Bliss in 1946. The citation on NASA's site is in error regarding the date of the photograph.
