I do note the difference between strategic weapons and terror weapons.  
That noted, I still find it hard to accept that the British gov't would 
actually _try_ to redirect the V2s _into_ one of the more strategically 
important parts of the city. Until I can get my hands on a map showing 
the actual distribution of the impact points, though, a lot must remain 
speculative.
