Buzz Bomb

The V-1 or "buzz bomb" was an early cruise missile Nazi Germany used during World War II. The photo below is German soldiers are transporting the bomb to the launcher. The V-1 earned its nickname from the loud rasping noise it would make. About 22,400 buzz bombs were released during the war.
