    Look up the Verin Fur Raumschiffahrt, which was an amatuer (read: rich aristo-scientists with no day job and a bundle of under-the-table military funding) society that got snapped up in the mid 30s by the Nazi's, but were basically doing the same liquid fuel experiments Goddard et al were doing in the states before Hitler came to power.
