Extended description

In September 1944 Hitler unleashed on London his ultimate Vengeance Weapon - the V-2, a ballistic missile that arrived without warning, demolished entire streets and against which there was no defence.

The development of the top secret V-2 ballistic missile began almost as soon as Hitler came to power, but frequent problems with technical issues meant that a working prototype did not appear until 1942 and the first V-2 was fired in anger in 1944.

When the V-2 entered service it sent shock waves through the Allied high command.

The death tolls from V-2 blasts could be horrific, with more than 140 people being killed in an instant. (Read more)
