V1 and V2 Statistics : Totals by Postcode |
The higher death rates can generally be seen in the inner areas further out into the suburbs the death rate declined. This somewhat vindicates the governments policy of encouraging the Nazis to reduce their aim through false intelligence. At the time Herbert Morrison is quoted as saying "who are we to play God" but it would seem like a case of grim practicalities and the policy saved lived. So for example West Wickham a suburban area had 14 V1's and a casualty (deaths ) rate of 0.71 per missile. However a tightly packed in urban area, for example Borough & Bermonsdey which suffered 25 missiles had a casualty rate of 7.96 per missile |
