Abstract

The research examines the development of Mittelbau-Dora as a war industrial hub within the German shift in the period 1943–1945 towards protected underground manufacturing. It links the pressure of Allied air bombing with the decision to move sensitive production centers connected to the V-2 rocket program to a closed production environment. It also follows the formation of an administrative and technical system that combined the requirements of speed and secrecy with strict control procedures over the workforce. Then it analyzes the work of the Mittelwerk plant from the perspective of industrial organization, supply chains, quality problems, and assembly. It shows how management faced the challenges of raw materials and logistical bottlenecks as the war expanded in 1944. Then it observes the impact of the military deterioration in 1945 on production, distribution, evacuation, and disruption operations. It concludes that Mittelbau-Dora was not reduced to being just a production site, but represented a mechanism for embodying the intersection of technology with the decision to wage war.
