What were rockets used for during world war 2?

During World War II, rockets were primarily used as weapons for both offensive and defensive purposes. The German V-2 rocket was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile, used to target cities like London. Additionally, the Allies developed and deployed various types of rockets, including the British "Tornado" and American "HVAR" (High Velocity Aircraft Rocket), for use in aerial attacks against ground targets and naval vessels. Rockets also found applications in anti-aircraft roles, enhancing the firepower of artillery units.
