V-2
From Conservapedia
The V–2 rocket was the brainchild of German Wernher von Braun’s rocket team in the early part of World War II, and was used to bomb London with devastating effect.
Operating at a secret laboratory at Peenemünde on the Baltic coast, the V–2 rocket was the immediate antecedent of those used in space exploration programs in the United States and the Soviet Union.[1] A liquid propellant missile extending some 46 feet in length and weighing 27,000 pounds, the V-2 flew at speeds in excess of 3,500 miles per hour and delivered a 2,200-pound warhead to a target 500 miles away. First flown in October 1942, it was employed against targets in Europe beginning in September 1944. By the beginning of 1945, it was obvious to von Braun that Germany would not achieve victory against the Allies, and he began planning for the postwar era.
More slave labourers died manufacturing the missiles in underground factories than were killed by the missile attacks.
