Werner Von Braun the Father of Rocket Science

You've read his biography, haven't you?

"I Aim For the Stars (but sometimes I hit London)"
Of course this comes from the lyrics of a left wing jewish satirist
pushing his own agenda.

Seems the truth hurts, especially when it is made into jokes.

There is no truth here by you or Lehrer, only a double standard.

The core POINT is this: the allies bombed when they could not
possibly achieve any accuracy
because they did not develop the technical means to do so similarly
von Braun's missile was
forced into use before it was ready and achchieved high accuracy.

The allies had the possibillity to develop technical means but it
seems the
dehousing and area bombardment policy meant disinterest.


Which rather ignores the fact that they DID develop the technical
means in the form of Oboe, Gee, H2S, Loran etc while the
Germans kept right on area bombing.



The bulk of Bomber commands night time raids were conducted by H2S at
night, irrespective of whether it was the 9cm version or
the 3cm version the system had Circular Error probables of 5 miles.

Worse than the early V2.


Well no , 5 miles was BEFORE the technical aids were developed.


At certain periodes of the year the by far the bulk of the USAAF's
raids were
conducted under cloud cover and demonstrated similarly poor levels of
accuracy.

Worse than the early V2.


Well no, the Americans could actually hit a city which the V-2
struggled to manage.

Even under 50% clould cover the accuracy of daylight bombardment was
not spectactular.

Morover von Braun was designing a system with high accuracy.

So what do we have? Perhaps 50% of RAF bomber commands raids and
perhaps 25% of the 8th airforce with worse accuracy than the V2?


Only in your mind

The spectactular accuracies selectively quoted from the USSBS are for
ideal conditions.


The V2 on the other hand was technically CLOSE to achieving a
consistant 1km CEP: 5-7 times more accurate than H2S/H2X
in darkness and 100% cloud cover, creating 25-49 times less collateral
damage area.


It actually achieved 12 km

It would have been considerably more accurate than H2X in partial
cloud cover.

And hardly worse than the spread of collateral damage caused by
formation bombing.


The V-2 was intended to cause collateral damage, its aiming point
was the city centre, the German government boasted that it was
intended to cause terror.
