Ludwig Roth (June 10, 1909 – November 1, 1967) was the Aerospace engineer who was the head of the Peenemünde Future Projects Office [3] [4] which designed the Wasserfall [5] and created advanced rockets designs such as the A9/A10 ICBM.

Roth arrived in New York under Operation Paperclip on November 16, 1945, via the SS Argentina [6] and served at Fort Bliss and Huntsville, Alabama. He and his family relocated to Palos Verdes, California.
