V2
German ballistic weapon
V2 refers to the German rocket-powered ballistic missile of World War II, the first long-range guided weapon.
Nazi Germany launched thousands against Allied cities in 1944-45.
The designation stands for *Vergeltungswaffe 2* (retaliation weapon).
More broadly, V2 labels the second version of anything—software, products, plans: We're rolling out V2 of the app next month.
