Video: "first Rocket War on Antwerp City (1944-45) V1 and V2"

first Rocket War on Antwerp City (1944-45) V1 and V2

V1 and V2 terror on Antwerp City (1944-45)
Important note:

From the video we learn that the main part of the rockets fell on the populated residential areas of the city, killing thousands of citizens. The number of rockets that hit the target: the port, was merely negligible, as well as the damage they caused to it.
A complete information ban by the allied military forces (under American and British command) about the bombings, could implicate that those were not unhappy with the inaccuracy of the missiles. It resulted in a big drama, for the local population.
There are always more sides to one truth.
