WWII Missiles

WWII was the first war to use rocket-powered missiles – a weapon developed by the Germans during the war called the V2 rocket. Germans used the V2 rockets to terrorize England and kill thousands of people. In 1944, no one else in the world had these type of weapons. The V2 rocket was 12 tons, could carry a 1-ton warhead, and flew at 4000 mph; all at a time when the fastest Allied aircraft flew at about 400 mph. Luckily, these weapons were newly developed and suffered some problems that limited the damage they could have done, because, otherwise, they were impossible to intercept [26]. However, this technology was foundational to the US achieving a successful landing on the moon 25 years later in 1969 via the Apollo 11 Mission [27].
