Germany played a part. Snark aside, v1's and 2's weren't exactly 'targetted'.

Dehousing was also inspired by the effects of German bombing of the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehousing#Production_and_conte...

These decisions precedes the extensive use of V1 and V2, also volume and scale matters. Thats why they got the crown.

London, Bristol, Southampton, Coventry and various other English cities were heavily bombed by Germany before the UK's major bomber offensive on Germany.

Please provide source. V2 rockets used in 1944.
