In the summer of 1944, the people of Britain believe that the worst of the Second World War is now behind them but the Nazis have one more sting in their tail: on the 13th June 1944, they launch their vengeance weapons at Britain, the V-1 "doodlebug" and the V-2 rocket. But the Allies are determined to fight back.
