I'm curious, can you provide me with a clear and concise answer to this question: How many people lost their lives as a direct result of the V1 rocket attacks during World War II? I'm interested in understanding the impact of these devastating weapons on the civilian population.

    By March 1944, the efficiency of the manufacturing process had significantly improved, allowing each V-1 to be produced in just 350 hours. This included 120 hours dedicated to the autopilot system.

    In comparison to the V-2 rocket, the V-1's production cost was a mere 4% of that of the V-2, despite delivering a similar payload.

    The strategic importance of the V-1 was evident in its use against England, where approximately 10,000 were launched.
