V2 German Nazi Rocket

The V2 rocket was the first mass-produced long-range rocket. It was also the first man-made object to break through the earth's atmosphere. The V2 was conceived as the ultimate offensive weapon of the Second World War. It could not be intercepted by any aircraft, shot down by any weapon and could not be stopped by any countermeasures. It struck without warning and left a trail of devastation in its wake.
