"Which is why more died when people started getting hit by V1's and V2's particularly the latter as they fell without warning albeit that they were launched from more than 5 km away"

What is the point here - that like the driver in the Van they bear responsibility for their own death?

And what about the anderson shelters that were flattened by V2's?

I think the death toll increase which correlated with the use of V2's had as much to do with the V2's horrendous destructive power as with the elemant of surprise.

However, the part of the comparison which does apply is that the people who were killed by V2's were civilians in their own homes, being subjected to ruthless attacks from an invisible foreign force.

The similarity is that neither the heli crews in the video, nor the launchers of V" rockets gave a monkeys about civilians being killed. I imagine the German missile crew laughed in much the same way as the Americans.

Sadly, unable to see the carnage they had inflicted, they were unable to comment "nice" as they sat back and and enjoyed their "engagement" party.

The difference is, that the Americans in this case could see everything and could have done it differently. the similarity, so the evidence shows, is that neither the heli crews in the video, nor the launchers of V2 rockets gave a monkeys about civilians being killed.
