Commander William Adama - Colonial Fleet Battlestar Galactica commanding officer: He earned his wings, just like we all did.
Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama - Colonial Fleet Viper pilot: One of us wasn't cut out to be a pilot. One of us wouldn't have made it into flight school if his old man, his daddy, hadn't pulled the strings!
Commander William Adama - Colonial Fleet Battlestar Galactica commanding officer: That's an exaggeration. I did nothing for him that I wouldn't have done for anyone else.
Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama - Colonial Fleet Viper pilot: You're not even listening to me. Why - why can't you get this through your head? Zak did not belong in that plane! He shouldn't have been there. He - he was only doing it for you. Face it. You killed him.

The Nazi Rocketeers: Dreams of Space and Crimes of War By Dennis Piszkiewicz
Page 209
Result 1 of 2 in this book for Wernher von Braun "3 may 1945"
2 MAY 1945
After the betrayals by Goering and Himmler, in one of his last acts before he took his own life, Adolf Hitler named Admiral Karl Doenitz as his political successor. The new chief of state was faced with the thankless and hopeless task of putting Germany out of it misery.
As the final bits of the Third Reich were swept away by the Allies, Albert Speer, who had recommended Doenitz to Hitler, looked to the future. Hitler was gone, and the rest of the Nazi leadership would soon follow. Speer, however, had no intention of being one of those to go. He thought about his future in postwar Germany, and he planned to begin writing his memoirs without delay. It never occurred to him that the victors would hold him accountable for his crimes as a leader of the Third Reich.
Each survivor of the Third Reich had his own way of dealing with matters of honor and survival. Wernher von Braun and General Walter Dornberger decided on the path of surrender.
Their options seemed limited. They could wait for the French troops who were reportedly approaching the area to take them into custody. They could wait for some zealous and trigger-happy SS men to make their options and choices irrelevant, or they could contact the Americans. Magnus von Braun, Wernher's younger brother, was chosen to make the first contact because he spoke English better than anybody else in the group.
The younger von Braun left Haus Ingeborg in Oberjoch by bicycle in the morning on his way through the Adolf Hitler Pass toward Austria, where they believed American troops were in control. He had gone no more than four kilometers when he reached the Austrian border town of Schattwald and was taken into custody by a group of American soldiers. Between his broken English and the rudimentary German spoken by one of the Americans, he got across his story. He was one of 150 German rocket personnel who were lodged a short distance away behind the German line. His brother Wernher, who had led the group that had invented the V-2 rocket, and the others wanted to surrender.
The Americans thought his story fantastic; but, nonetheless, they took Magnus von Braun to the command post of the United States Army's 44th Division Counter-Intelligence Corps, which was in Reutte, 26 kilometers to the east. At Reutte, Magnus repeated his story to First Lieutenant Charles L. Stewart. He said that the group of rocket men wanted to join the Americans because they felt the Americans would support their continued rocket development work. He added that his group wanted to surrender immediately because they felt their lives were in danger from the zealous remnants of the SS who did not want them to fall into the hands of the enemy.
Lieutenant Stewart was willing to listen to more and to accept the surrender of the German rocket scientists - if, in fact, the young German was telling the truth. He gave Magnus a pass that would allow him and the key people of the German rocket group to safely cross into Austria and the area controlled by the American army.
Magnus had returned to Hans Ingeborg by 2:00 P.M., and the group of rocket men who would surrender to the Americans began to assemble. The German Army's rocket team had eroded catastrophically in just four months. The 4,325 who had worked at Peenemunde had been pared down to about 3,000 who had been relocated to the Mittelwerk. The group had been whittled down again to 400 key people who had taken the Vengeance Express to Oberammergau, then eroded to the loyal few who had stayed with Wernher von Braun and Walter Dornberger at Haus Ingeborg. Of the 150 who were there, the large majority were from Dornberger's military staff and were not rocket scientists as Magnus may have implied to Lieutenant Stewart. Walter Dornberger and Wernher von Braun selected the final seven members of the team who would immediately turn themselves over to the Americans.
At 4:10 P.M. a somber procession of three field-grey BMWs left under an equally gray sky. Magnus von Braun, Walter Dornberger, and Bernhard Tessman were in the lead car. Werner von Braun and Dieter Huzel were in the middle car. Hans Lindenberg, chief propulsion engineer of the team, and Herbert Axster, Dornberger's chief of staff, brought up the rear. All seven men, including General Dornberger and Lieutenant Colonel Axater, had dressed in civilian clothes. A light sleet had begun to fall, accentuating the somber mood as they drove into their uncertain future.
When they finally arrived in Reutte it was dark. Lieutenant Stewart and his staff briefly questioned the Germans, assigned them rooms in the mansion they were occupying, then fed them dinner. The long day had ended for both the rocket scientists and their American hosts.
There was something about the dynamics of the group of Germans which Lieutenant Stewart noticed but did not understand. The lead was taken by the 33-year-old, blonde engineer who unashamedly claimed responsibility for having designed the V-2 rocket, the weapon that had brought terror, destruction, and death to England and the Low Countries in the final months of the war. He was outgoing, full of information, and strangely jovial. Major General Walter Dornberger, the ranking member of the group, was reserved to the point of being subordinate. What Stewart did not understand or appreciate was that von Braun was a civilian with knowledge and skills to sell to his hosts. Dornberger was, for the second time in his life, a defeated warrior with an indefinite stay in a prisoner-of-war camp as the only certainty in his future. He had no reason to be in a good mood; the war had ended for him - not with a bang, but with a humiliating whimper.
3 MAY 1945
The storm had passed, and the morning was clear but cold when the seven defectors rose. Their American hosts led them to a temporary building which was being used as a mess hall. There they were treated with unexpected deference to a regulation G.I. breakfast of eggs, toast, cereal, and coffee. When they had finished, they were taken outside for an even greater surprise: a press conference.
The photograph taken at the time shows seven men in overcoats standing on the muddy ground. They were unsmiling, uncertain, possibly apprehensive about their futures, and uncomfortable about being put on display. The two men placed prominently at the center of the picture were Walter Dornberger, his features partially hidden in the shadow of his hat brim, and Wernher von Braun. Von Braun's left arm was encased in plaster and jutted out horizontally from under his coat; it bent at the elbow placing his hand over the center of his chest in a mysterious salute.
The center of attention at their introduction to the press was not the senior member of the group, Walter Dornberger. He was, after all, just another defeated German general; and there were more than enough of them already. One of the reporters, a sergeant writing for an army newspaper, found his story in the 33-year-old man with his arm encased in plaster. Von Braun, who had spent his entire professional career in the obscurity of military secrecy, apparently loved the new-found attention.
