The V2 was the ultimate terror weapon that the Germans used against London and most of southeast England. Even during the last months of the war, the Germans were launching V2’s against civilian targets in London.

I think it was towards the end of 1944, or early 1945 when a V2 struck a crowded Woolworth’s in downtown London and killed hundreds when the building collapsed.

They say, even today, you can still see occasional gaps in the housing that was caused by V2 attacks or even from the earlier Blitz bombing.

The blockheads fired more V-2s against Antwerp than England.
