A young boy killed and set aflame by a V-2 rocket attack on the main intersection in Antwerp, Belgium, November 27 1944, on the main allied supply line to Holland. The V-2, one of the German Vergeltungswaffe, was the first ballistic missile and first man-made object to achieve sub-orbital spaceflight. Over 3,000 V-2s were launched as military rockets by the Wehrmacht against Allied targets in World War II. Photo credit: Ingeldew, T3c, U.S. Army |
