If 'Prüfstand XII' Was Successful? New York Blitzed By V-2's

We know the Nazis were close under Operation Prüfstand XII where a U-boat would have launched a V-2 on the United States. Say if New York was 'V-2ed' like England, is it possible the U.S. would pull out and redeploy those forces in the Pacific theatre where their primary enemy was?

Advanced U-boat Class 'XXI Elektroboote' -Could operate without submerging

 

Definitely some propaganda value but if heavy bombing of first Britain and then Germany did not make these countries pull out of war or collapse cannot see how a couple or a couple of hundred V2´s tops could make it.

 

I'd say that if such a thing occurred, it would have further strengthened the US resolve. The only thing that the Germans could get out of it would be its propaganda value.

 

I could not find any thread about Operation Prüfstand XII, and I did provide background information..

(Operation Prüfstand XII where a U-boat would have launched a V-2 on the United States.)

And I posted images regarding the topic plus my theory

(Say if New York was 'V-2ed' like England, is it possible the U.S. would pull out and redeploy those forces in the Pacific theatre where their primary enemy was?)

So why don't you just let my thread be, there are tons of useless what if threads sir and this is not one of them.

Now getting back on-topic. Kai-Petri, what really is interesting is that the Germans did start to create nuclear weapons at the very latest stage of the war and they wanted to develop a sort of V-2 derived ICBM. According to the Russians they found nuclear weapons research in an underground complex in Ebensee along with V-2's.

 

Tsk tsk. Not the way to get into the good graces of the forum. Slipdigit was correct in that you did not provide your thoughts/theory to your posting. You posted a question.

As for the 'tons of useless' what if postings, well that is why these rules were put into effect and all of us here agreed to them. So when in Rome, do as the Romans do or end up in the coliseum.

As for answering your question, it is obvious that nothing other than propaganda value for the Germans would come out of this. The US had the resources to put an end to the sea launchings whereas Germany did not have the resources to continue such a campaign.

 

I suppose an U-Boot operating without submerging would suffer an even quicker fate than its submerging brothers.

Well, if you say so.
