Thanks for the language lesson, but I speak fluent German.
Now, don´t trust everything it says on Wikipedia.
Versuchsmuster-1 is the correct initial German term for the V-1. The operational version was codenamed Flakzielgerät 76 (FZG-76)"Anti-Aircraft target device 76 " later renamed Fieseler Fi 103.
The official name for the V-2 was Fernrakete A4 (A4 = Aggregat 4)
Vergeltungswaffen / Wunderwaffe are names made up by the German Propaganda Ministry.
You can see that, if you one day visit Penemünde in Germany.
It was not meant as criticism of your post.That was my source on this one. I to remain skeptical at times of Wikipedia at times. I have seen facts and figures that are a bit skewed.
. Considering the allies dropped 1.6 million tons of bombs over Europe the V2 was a drop in the bucket .
He's making a comparison of total weight of ordnance. Same way the Soviets compare the larger total weight of artillery shells fired into Berlin vs the weight of bombs dropped by the Allies earlier.Obviously you have never been on the recieving end of a V2, if you had you wouldn't consider it to be a "drop in a bucket"
