The V1 Rocket - Germany's Leap into the Future - Part 2/3

This video explores the V1 flying bomb, Germany’s pioneering cruise missile that redefined aerial warfare in World War II. Launched June 13, 1944, from Pas-de-Calais, France, the V1—designed by Robert Lusser and Fritz Gosslau—featured a pulsejet engine pulsing 50 times per second, propelling it at 400 mph (640 km/h) with a 1,870-lb (850-kg) warhead. Over 30,000 were produced, shifting to Mittelwerk’s tunnels after 1943 Allied raids, targeting southeast England and beyond. We analyze its gyroscopic guidance, mass deployment, and its lasting influence on Cold War missile technology, including the U.S. JB-2 Loon. Archival footage and technical breakdowns reveal its engineering brilliance and terror.
