I would treat with suspicion an author who does not know how to pronounce his subject's name.![Icon_smile Icon_smile](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Von in German sounds like "Fon" as "V" letter in German is called "Fau" (fah-oo) and so was the name of his rocket, "V2", "Fau-2" for "Vergeltungswaffe" (Fehr-gel'-toongs-vahf-feh).
Alhough he is correct on Brown as it is in English sounds as Braun in German (and means the same too).
