Excerpt from wikipedia on a movie made on the life of Wernher von Braun, a German born progenitor of the U.S. Space programme (and NASA), who during World War II was a Nazi rocket-scientist heading the team that developed the V2 Rocket, an early ballistic missile used by the German Army in the later part of World War II to launch terror attacks on Allied Cities (1,402 V2 Rockets were fired into England causing substantial casualties).

"'I Aim at the Stars' (1960), also titled 'Wernher von Braun' and 'Ich greife nach den Sterne' ("I reach for the stars"): (von Braun played by Curd Jürgens). Satirist Mort Sahl suggested the subtitle '(But Sometimes I Hit London)'."

Don't ask me why. I found it kinda funny.
