Not in the slightest.  The rocket weapons were very much
ineffective and an inefficient use of resources.  Moreover,
Germany was very fortunate in that it was defeated before
the advent of nuclear weapons.  A stronger Germany and a
longer war in Europe would have meant only greater
destruction of Germany before its defeat.

Additionally, even without nuclear weapons the allied
forces had developed tremendous destructive capabilities.
It's probably not entirely coincidence that Germany was
defeated right at the time that everything clicked into
place for allied bombing to become tremendously effective
(Dresden, Tokyo, etc.)

Quite.
