Would you like some toast? Some nice hot crisp brown buttered toast. No? How about a muffin then? Nothing? You know the last time you had toast. 18 days ago, 11.36, Tuesday 3rd, two rounds.

They were defeated by number of things:
1. A layered defence system (fighters over the channel, AAA at the coast with radar and proximity fuses, another layer of fighters then barrage balloons).
2. Nazi agents in the UK were tasked with reporting where V-1s were falling. All of these agents had been turned so they reported that the V-1s were overshooting London. This meant that the targeting was shortened, leading to most V-1s not being able to reach London
3. Launch sites close enough to launch V-1s into Britain were captured as Allied forces pushed deeper into Europe (though that led to Brussels and Antwerp being targeted).
