Oh, I almost forgot. Lots of rockets have indeed been launched from the Netherlands. Most of them aimed at London or Antwerp.
Von Braun wrote his autobiography, titled "
I aim at the stars ... but sometimes I hit London".

NASA's Nazi Memorials - Honouring War Criminals 2024
In 2024, several Nazi war criminals that were brought to America under Operation Paperclip in 1945 to work on the US ballistic missile and space programmes, are widely honoured. These men were responsible for tens of thousands of deaths, mostly of slave labourers forced to build Nazi rockets, and were also active Nazi Party members and SS officers. It is an interesting moral problem for NASA, other space organisations and the American public to wrestle with - should such men, that got America to the Moon in 1969 still be accorded such honours?
