During ww 2, the German military had two massive breakthroughs, but Hitler's own pride got in the way and it may have cost him the war. One of these was the advent of the ME-262, the first jet powered fighter to ever exist, but that is irrelevant to the question. The second was the V-2 rockets, 41 tons of metal and liquid oxygen with a one ton explosive in the nose cone, and capable of hitting altitudes of 60 miles. Vergeltundswaffan, or "vengeance weapons" were Hitler's second pride and joy, shortly following the Luftwaffe. However, he was foolish and insisted upon targeting London with these massive weapons instead of eliminating military targets on both a tactical and strategic level.
