Allied bombing raids on the fixed and moveable V2 launch sites proved futile
in WW2 until the raid(s) on Peenemunde, which was a development site, not a
manufacturing facility. The raids set back the V2 program by about 3-4
months, otherwise the V2 would have preceded the flying bomb, or V1, and
caused many more deaths than the 5475 official figures resulting from the
6725 launches.


Bzzzt Wrong, there were no V2's in production, BEFORE Peenemunde was
bombed, as the V2 was still in the early prototype Stage at that time.
Maybe your thinking of the V1, "Buzz Bomb" which was just starting into
Military Production, elsewhere, after being designed, and Flight Tested,
at Peenemunde.
