It's not hard to find schnitzel, a quintessential German dish of breaded cutlets, in Huntsville, Alabama, the heart of America's Deep South. Six decades later, the Germans have left their mark on Huntsville: they founded a symphony orchestra, a Von Braun Sports Center, and Von Braun Astronomical Society. Hans Hölzer, a childhood friend of von Braun's first daughter Iris, is seated at the same table. Right in the middle of NASA's campus sits a stately bust of von Braun that has just been placed here. But he goes back to the same point: thanks to von Braun's team, it was America that put the first men on the Moon.
