Nazis bombed own cities for target practice
h/t Gates of Vienna[TheLocal.de] Documents going on sale in London show how the Nazis tested V2 rockets, including firing them at their own cities. The owner of the documents, a private collector, claims that they have never been seen before and that they are the first evidence to show that the Nazis killed their own citizens as a means of testing their weaponry. Now they are being auctioned in the UK to the highest bidder by UK-based Chiswick Auctions. Research notes which accompany the documents say that they are final test firing reports for the V2 missile. The reports were issued to 'Kommandostelle S' a highly secretive unit about which little is known. According to the note, the report describes how V2s were fired against German population centres during the practise phase, and SS units then went to assess the damage.
