I watched a video about the womens defense auxiliary that manned (or womanned?) the coastal defense 12.8cm guns. There was a lot of footage in it of them shooting down the v1s, often if they werent destroyed in mid air, they would be destabilized and crash, hopefully landing in the cleared areas but sometimes on the gun positions themselves.
ill try to find it.

We didn't always have to shoot them down or intercept them. We just fed false data back to the germans that they were over-shooting london so when the germans corrected for this, they landed short of london.

Bet the germans were a bit annoyed when/if they found out about it.

Now THATS clever.
Its like the dummy army made totally out of rubber that Montgomery ordered built and placed in the south at El Alamein,decieving the Germans and then the British tanks attacked in force to the north,effectively taking the Germans completely by surprise
