How did V1 and V2 rocket help the Saturn V rocket to take man to the moon?

The V1 and V2 rocket technology was developed and perfected by a team of German scientists under the leadership of pioneering rocketeer Dr. Wernher von Braun. It was von Braun, considered to be the top rocket engineer of the century, who was Germany's key leader in rocket technology that led to the success of the V1 and V2 rockets. Toward the end of the war, pioneer pioneer von Braun led his team to the American lines and surrendered to the Allies, rather than face being captured by the advancing Soviets. He and his team were brought to the United States, and after a period where their records were "bleached" by U.S. intelligence of their former past, they were put to work on the U.S. rocket programs. Von Braun became NASA's leader in rocket development, which culminated in the design and success of the Saturn V rocket.


What is different between the V1 and V2 rockets?

The V1 was not a rocket, but a flying bomb powered by a simple form of jet engine called a pulse jet. It was equivalent to a modern cruise missile. A V2, on the other hand, was a rocket propelled rocket. The V1 could be stopped with gunfire or by attacks from fast fighters such as the Hawker Tempest, de Havilland Mosquito. The V2, on the other hand was undetectable, as it was fired into the stratosphere and hit its target with a speed higher than that of sound.
