This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Most of them predated the Nazis, the rocketeer community was thriving in the Weimar Republic. Also fun fact my great grandfather was part of one of the R&D projects that worked on V1s and V2s, his notes were looked over by Von Braun after the war. He got an angry thank you letter because my great grandfathers notes were basically him insulting the engineering and material quality while making suggestions for improvement.

Edit: I failed to mention my great grandfather was in the US Navy, he was in Florida at the time he wrote the notes I think.
