The V-1 flying bomb was Nazi Germany's autopilot-controlled revenge weapon launched in summer 1944 directly at London, launched from ramps rather than aircraft, guided by a gyrocompass and powered by a pulse jet engine running on compressed air and petrol; it was an unmanned weapon with no pilot, no steering, and no warning, where the real damage was not just the explosion but the psychological terror of the sound, as Londoners learned that as long as they could hear the engine, they were safe, but the moment it went silent, the bomb was falling.

Hitler's Weapon With No Pilot, No Mercy, and No Warning πAdded:
After D-Day, Hitler had one answer for London, a weapon with no pilot, no mercy, and no [music] warning. The V1 flying bomb, Nazi Germany's autopilot controlled revenge weapon, launched in the summer of 1944 directly at London.
Not from a plane, not from a soldier, but from a ramp, [music] guided by a gyrocompass, and powered by a pulse jet engine running on compressed air and petrol.
>> [music] >> No one flew it. No one steered it. It was simply pointed at a city and let go.
[music] The real damage wasn't just the explosion, it was the sound. Londoners learned that as long as they could hear the engine, they were safe. The moment it went silent, the bomb was falling.
Hitler didn't just want to destroy London, he wanted to break it.
