The German A-4 ballistic missile, which is better known by its propaganda name as the V-2, was the world's first ballistic missile. The V-2 was the forerunner of the Cold War ballistic missiles and saw combat use in 1944-45. The V-2 offensive lasted from September 1944 until March 1945 with over 3,000 rockets being launched. This book examines the combat record of the V-2 in World War II, with a special focus on how a German missile battalion actually prepared and fired its missiles.
