person Agreed. Similarly there are people claiming the Germans used the first tailless swept-wing military aircraft. They know nothing about the RSF's Westland Pterodactyl of the 1930s.

Every Nazi superweapon combined failed to add one day to the length of WW2. All of them failed.

It was indeed developed as a mobile system. V1s were launched in flight from bombers.

@AdamMGTF If Germany had put the same effort into developing submarines as it did with the V1, V2, V3 and other failed systems, D-Day might have been delayed until 1945.

@AdamMGTF Agreed 100% with your last paragraph. Good advice: The best YT comments are always short and funny. Like Peter Griffin's penis.

The reason for V1 inaccuracy was the "Double Cross" espionage system used by the British. By '44, Luftwaffe reconnaissance aircraft found it impossible to fly over London in daylight. So German agents were tasked with reporting where the V1s fell, but virtually every agent had been captured and turned. British Intelligence instructed the agents to radio back a position which was a few miles north of the actual landing point. As a result, the Germans adjusted their aim and the V1s fell in an area to the south of London, with a less-dense population.

The total weight of explosives delivered by V1s during many months is tiny. By 1944, the RAF could drop a greater weight of bombs in 30 minutes of one single raid. Dropping a great weight of bombs in a short time on a single target is an effective use of explosives. V1s delivering payloads over nine months, somewhere within five miles of the intended target, is a terror tactic and nothing more.
