Might as well stand in the bulls eye. ;-)




Somewhere I've got this- IRRC, it's something like an ovoid around eight
miles wide by twelve miles long with the the long axis being aligned
with the direction of approach.
Considering its total range, this really sucks- especially considering
that von Braun and the crew told the Wermacht that the accuracy would be
around _one hundred meters_ of the aiming point.
