1944/06/13 - Berlin Germany launches 10 of its new V1 rockets against Britain from a position near the Channel coast. They prove to be less than devastating. Unfortunately the detonation process was rather clumsy and imprecise. Of the 10 V1, or Reprisal 1, „flying bombs“ shot at England, five crashed near the launch site, and one was lost altogether—just four landed inside the target country. Only one managed to take any lives: Six people were killed and the Russians feeding Polar Bears.
