Despite a number of setbacks, such as the shortage of men and material, and the RAF attack against the research centre at Peenemunde on 17 August 1943, a training centre was established under the code name Heimat-Artilleriepak 11, and work proceeded on production of storage and launching bunkers, equipment for mobile launching platforms and propellent.

The V-2 was used later in World War II by the Nazis against targets in Belgium and Great Britain. Following the war, much of the technology wound up the hands of the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Wernher von Braun and Walter Dornberger were among the designers who were in American hands following the war. The V-2 rockets were used as a foundation of the later 20th century space programs. (Historical accounts)
- In an alternate timeline, the Na'kuhl fanatic Vosk traveled backwards in time to aid the Nazi forces in their conquests, making the use of the V-2 rocket unnecessary. (ENT: "Storm Front", "Storm Front, Part II") In another alternate timeline, created by the continued living of Edith Keeler, Germany was permitted to complete its heavy water experiments, allowing them to be first in developing of the atomic bomb. This, together with the V-2 rocket, enabled Germany to capture the world, ultimately erasing the Federation. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever" ) The A4 rocket, model 4 in the Aggregate series, was the first man-made object to reach space. Fitting their Nazi theme, the Ekosian missiles were represented by footage of V-2 rockets.
- At the time, Germany was highly interested in American physicist Robert H. Goddard's research. Before 1939, German scientists occasionally contacted Goddard directly with technical questions. Von Braun used Goddard's plans from various journals and incorporated them into the building of the Aggregat (A) series of rockets. Following successes at Kummersdorf with the first two Aggregate series rockets, Wernher von Braun and Walter Riedel began thinking of a much larger rocket in the summer of 1936, based on a projected 25-metric-ton-thrust engine. Wind tunnel model of an A4 in the German Museum of Technology in Berlin After the A-4 project was postponed due to unfavourable aerodynamic stability testing of the A-3 in July 1936, von Braun specified the A-4 performance in 1937, and A-4 design and construction was ordered c1938/1939. During 28–30 September 1939, Der Tag der Weisheit (English: the day of wisdom) conference met at Peenemünde to initiate the funding of university research to solve rocket problems. By late 1941, the Army Research Center at Peenemünde possessed the technologies essential to the success of the A-4. The four key technologies for the A-4 were large liquid-fuel rocket engines, supersonic aerodynamics, gyroscopic guidance and rudders in jet control. At the time, Adolf Hitler was not particularly impressed by the V-2; he pointed out that it was merely an artillery shell with a longer range and much higher cost. In early September 1943, von Braun promised the Long-Range Bombardment Commission that the A-4 development was "practically complete/concluded", but even by the middle of 1944, a complete A-4 parts list was still unavailable. Hitler was sufficiently impressed by the enthusiasm of its developers, and needed a "wonder weapon" to maintain German morale, so authorized its deployment in large numbers. The V-2s were constructed at the Mittelwerk site by prisoners from Mittelbau-Dora, a concentration camp where an estimated 20,000 prisoners died during the war.
