interesting, currently reading "Wages of Destruction" on the WW2 Nazi economy (fascinating book btw).
Turns out the entire V2 program was aggressivily pushed by Speer as a political ploy to increase his control over the economy/arms production/Luftwaffe since the V2 was an "Army" program and therefore under his initial jurisdiction.
While technically interesting, the V2 Rocket program was prohibitively expensive and tied up valuable raw materials while contributing very little to the German war effort. Classic Boondoggle.
