V2 rockets did not have the capability of reaching orbital velocity. The US did perform tests using captured V2 rockets, some with a second stage WAC Corporal (as RTV-G-4). That combination had height but still lacked the orbital speed. Payload was only 25 lb.

That was the plan, to also include a space station according to some documents. I guess the Brits thought the V-2 might do it and drew up a plan also. I have a feeling from what I have heard about the aggressivness of the Nazi was machine that they probably tried it. It would have been an awful thing, we were not ready to do space.
There are sites to check out under "V2 rocket manned"

i think of it replaced into in 2002 that a German mag revealed an editorial claiming that the variety of sufferers of Auschwitz (suggested to be the main significant camp the place Jews have been killed) who died in gas chambers replaced into 'purely' approximately 360,000. besides the actuality that that's unlawful in Germany to doubt the Holocaust numbers the author Fritjof Meyer replaced into no longer prosecuted, probable because of the fact he's a Jew. because of the fact the 6,000,000 discern replaced into getting used even earlier the conflict broke out that's for sure no longer does not have any real foundation. i think of those information tend to lend credulity to John Beaty's figures. playstation i got here across a link, see under.

I remember seeing something on History Channel about that version of the V-2. It was intended to be a guided suicide bomb.

No, because the V2 is not able to reach orbit. It has only suborbital capability.
