      ah, sorry, yes.

      so the timeline becomes:

      13 March 1943 - attempt on hitler
      March 1944 - himmler convinced hitler to hand the v2 project over to the SS
      20 July 1944 - another attempt on hitler
      aug 8 1944 - dornberger is replaced

      but it goes on:

      December 1944, Dornberger was given complete authority for anti-aircraft rocket development
      In February 1945, Dornberger and staff relocated his headquarters from Schwedt-an-der-Oder to Bad Sachsa,

      so the project was already slated to be handed over to the SS and then dornberger was implicated in the plot but was not arrested, not imprisoned, not killed, just replaced, but he still got to be an officer and had staff and was in charge of developing rockets in some other project.

      okay. help me make it make sense.
