It's on DVD. Netflix has it. Yes, that entire launch episode is astonishing. And eerily predictive, from this end of the space programs.
You won't be shocked to hear Werner Von Braun imprinted on Frau im Mond (he would have been in his early teens when it was released, I think) and had his own copy, which was a regular feature of evening entertainment at Peenemünde.
I had a writeup on this somewhere on my LJ, but as I'm commenting via phone I can't track it down just now.
This film does make me sad in some ways--it's a reminder of all the wonderful possibilities Germany represented, after the hyperinflation and before the Depression, which ended up choked and distorted and twisted instead.
