The first objects in space (going by the Karman line definition of outer space, being at 100km altitude from sea level) were the German V-2 rockets during WWII. Their purpose was to bomb allied cities. The first one to actually reach space was on Oct 3, 1942. However many V-2s did not pass the 100km mark because most were not launched vertically. When launched vertically, such as in testing, they reached a maximum of 208km in altitude.
Funny how war seems to be the driving force behind innovation.
