The quote, of course, is not genuine. I Aim for the Stars is a biographical movie (Columbia Pictures: 1960. Directed by J. Lee Thompson, all of the actors were German and the movie was released more than once in Germany under similar but different titles: Ich Greife nach den Sternen, usw.) Jokes based on the title of the film were common at the time: "I aim at the stars, but mostly, I hit London." I had to check the Antwerp thing as the Germans actually occupied Belgium for most of the war. Apparently, the Germans bombed it after it was retaken by the Allies.
