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.
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 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.

V2 rocket
V1 and V2
the V2 rocket was bigger and faster than the V1 flying bomb. the V1 being a flying bomb was smaller and had a pulse jet engine and the V2 which was a rocket had a bigger rocket engine. ACTUAL SIZE COMPARISON: V1: Length: 25' 4" wingspan: 8.32 meters V2: length 14 m (45 ft 11 in)
the V2 rocket
Poison gas was the terrifying weapon of World War 1. The V1 Flying Bomb and V2 Rocket were the terrifying weapons of WW2.
