We made no distinction between Germany and Nazi Germany, and it is a somewhat artificial distinction:
I agree LB. I get annoyed when no mention is made of just ordinary Germans waging war. They are referred to as either Nazi's, Nazi Germany or Hitler's Germany, as if they were a particular breed of German. In fact, the majority of Germans were supportive of the Nazi's even if they were not actual members of the Party, at least when it looked as if they might be successful. When the war turned against them they somehow became 'victims' of and evil regime and the consequences of it's warring policies.
Furthermore if the Allies had not been able to stop them, the V2's had the capability to totally destroy London and beyond. And, given the chance, the Germans would have done just that with no qualms whatsoever.
