The Germans are what I like to call Smart morons. The V2 program is a perfect example. They spent the money of the Manhattan Project on it roughly, and inaccurately delivered a tonnage of explosives on target roughly equal to less than two 1000 plane Eighth Air Force bombing raids. We could better their V2 sum total once a week, and even more during the later stage the war.

And it has the unusual honor of actually killing more people building it than in its use.

The Blockheads either do things two ways amazingly beautiful and perfect, or they screw it up in ways a sane man can’t imagine

“The Germans are what I like to call Smart morons.”

Excellent tactics, lousy strategy, no/little logistics. A losing prescription.

The V-2 was first fired against London in September of 1944, long past the point in time in which the Luftwaffe could launch a sizeable bombing raid against targets in the city.

Was there a better way for the Germans to bomb London?

(I'm not disputing your statistics, btw, and I'm certainly not defending the practice of bombing a soft target; I just don't see what other options were available to them.)
