Default Advanced versions of the V-2 rocket



about V-2 in 1944

from France to somewhere in London. The way it was built was just fine
for bombarding the city, and even bringing the CEP down to 1km is
pointless without a nuclear warhead. With its Amatol warhead the only
thing that was going to make any difference would be if you could
somehow bring CEP down to 100 m, not 1 km.


What target would be the difference? Big Ben? British Museum?
The grave of Karl Marx or a Synagoge? No joke - Feldmarschall Milch
in his memoirs described the talk about the "America Bomber". He asked
what target in New York shall be bombed by such a project. Answer:
"The habour or the jewish quarter!"

This guys were realy the best example of `Neolithic mind with
modern weapons`.

If they would take out the electric utility plants in southern England,
what do you think Bomber Command would go for next?
