".. and the Nazis built rockets only to bomb London .."

Actually the Nazis had a design for an augmented version of the V-2 that was a suborbital atmosphere skipper. The vehicle was designed by Dr. Eugen Sänger and called the "Amerika Project". Its mission was to bomb New York, refer to:

Like the Nazi nuclear weapon's program, the Saenger atmosphere skipper never got past the early design phase.
