Then again, these are the same people who cowered and did nothing to stop the V2 rockets from scorching their land until America came along.

We overran the launch sites and bombed the crap out of Peenemunde and Friedrichshafen, you pretentious wuss.

In any case: the V2 program was an expensive failure and a misallocation of materials that actually served to shorten the war in the Allies favour.

Seriously: you should open a history book instead of serially-masturbating in front of war-films.

As to accuracy, the V2 had a circular error probability (CEP), or target area, of 25 miles, making it essentially useless except as a terror weapon. By contrast, the Minuteman III ICBM's CEP is 200 yards.
