The Third Reich expended enormous resources on the V-2 ballistic missile, aweapon that, despite its frightening potential for destruction, had little actual impact on the war. Paradoxically, the creation of this missile technology would prove extremely valuable to Allied powers after the war but was ultimately a failure for the Germans during the war. Condition: very good, very good.
