No, The V2 never reached space. I am a history nut about WWII so I know this sort of things. It couldn't have reached space for a few reasons.
1. It was solid fueled. solid fueled rockets don't have enough power to get themselves into space.
2. If it had, Germany would have made the first inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) and they would've bombed the U.S.
3.It's gyroscope wouldn't work very well in the high atmosphere/space.
World's First ballistic missile used by Germany. From a practical military standpoint, it was of low usefulness (and generally caused only very limited damage), but had a psychological effect on the Allies (who viewed its potential as far greater than its actual effects).
The A4-V2 rocket, the first rocket ever to reach space back in 1944, was developed by the Nazi government around 1938 and 1939. Sputnik Rocket, the first rocket to launch a payload into orbit back in 1957, was developed by the Soviet Union in the mid 1950s. Vostok 8K72K, the first rocket used to launch a person into space back in 1961, was developed shortly after the sputnik rocket. In 2012 the world will end
It was launched in the year 1944.

No V2 rockets were launched on D-Day. D-Day took place on 6 June 1944. The first operational launch of a V2 rocket (known in German as Aggregat 4 (A4), codenamed in Britain as Bodyline or Big Ben) took place on 8 September 1944, when a single rocket was fired at Paris. The rocket land near Porte d'Italie and caused only minor damage.A second V2 rocket was launched against London the same day, landing in Chiswick and killing two people. In order not to create a panic, the British government issued a cover story that the explosion had been caused by a gas explosion.
the first rocket (the V2) was launched in 1942.
The first monkeys in space were NOT in an aircraft, but in a V2 rocket made in Germany in WW2 and brought to USA after the war.
The first rocket sent into space was called V-2, which was launched by Germany in 1944.
Goddard did not create a rocket that went into space. He created the first liquid fuel rocket which was which lead to space rockets and for this is known as the father of modern rocketry. The first rocket to reach space was the V2 rocket made by the Germans during World War 2 as a weapon to deliver bombs.
The first scientific exploration from space was the cosmic radiation experiment launched by the U.S. on a V2 rocket on May 10, 1946.
The first rocket to go into space was the V-2 rocket, developed in Nazi Germany during World War II. It was launched by the Germans on October 3, 1942, reaching an altitude of 84.5 kilometers (52.5 miles).
If you mean the first to reach space, they say that a V2 German rocket reached Low-earth-orbit during testing in 1942.
The first modern liquid-fuel rocket, which laid the groundwork for space rockets, was invented by Robert H. Goddard in 1926. This marked the beginning of the development of rocket technology for space exploration.
The first animals intentionaly sent into space were fruit flies aboard an American launched German made V-2 rocket in 1947. It is possible that insects were sent into space aboard V2 rockets in World War II, but this was not intentional.The first monkey in space was Albert II a rehsus macaque who was sent into space in a V2 rocket on June 14, 1949. He survived the trip into space but was unfortuantely killed when the rocket crashed on landing.
The first rocket to reach space was the German V2 in the 1940s. The first spacecraft to achieve orbit was the Soviet Sputnik, launched in 1957.
The first animals in space were fruit flies aboard a United States V2 rocket in 1947. (which are insects not animals) A Rhesus Monkey, called Albert II became the first monkey in space aboard another United States V2 rocket in 1949. The first dogs into space were Tsygan and Dezik aboard a Soviet rocket in 1951 - although not into orbit. The first dog into orbit was Laika aboard a Soviet Sputnik 2 rocket in 1957
The first man-made vehicle purpose built to reach space was Sputnik 1 launched on an R-7 rocket by the USSR on October 4 1957. Prior to this, a German V2 rocket had reached the arbitrary limit we call 'space' - 62 miles - by mistake.
