Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor the scene in which a street is wiped out by a V2, the filmmakers destroyed a row of flats which were slated for demolition.
- GoofsAt the end of the film, the rocket being launched is shown as having four engines, whereas the V2 only had a single engine. However, this is supposed to be the long-range (and entirely fictitious) "New York" rocket.
- Quotes
Phil Bradley: The first rocket I built rose three feet into the ground. The second took off horizontally, went straight through a hen-house and killed 40 roosters.
Bradley's Interviewer: How very discouraging for you. What did you do after that?
Phil Bradley: Buried the roosters, sir.

Featured review
Excellent suspense movie. This one probably "disappeared among the "Guns of Navarone" imitators during the 60's. A pity, since it is worth having a look at. Some points in its favour: "Unpredictable" - characters who usually don't die in movies like this dies unexpectedly and in unexpected order (it doesn't follow the clichés). The spies sent on undercover missions into Germany are actually forced to speak German, and various ruses to cover up the accents have to be made. One negative aside though. At times it seems that two movies are being shown at the same time, a docu-drama about the actual bombings of England and a totally fictitious (albeit exciting) spy drama.
