The Hennocoque V2 Bunker

I thought you'd enjoy having a virtual visit of this former V2 launching site. Due to the advancing allies it was captured before the V2s were actually launched. It's near Mery sur Oise (Paris) . It was also bombed by the allies in 1944.

That's a most interesting site, Skipper.........

 

This is an impressive site! I've never heard about it, thank you for sharing this Skipper!!!!!!

 

I "accidentally" came across this site after watching a documentary which mentionned that in the 1970s a group of kidnappers hid a prisonner there.

 

Looks to be in pretty "decent" condition,too.

 

I always though that most V1+ V2 sites were in the north, but I only recently found out there were many sites in the Parisian area and even in the west. I will post a few more threads about other less known sites soon.

 

Cheers skip. Only ones I've been to are Watten and la Coupole.

 

You'd be amazed by the huge amount of sites and/or projects. I thought there'd be about a dozen, the number is far more.Due to the liberation of France , only the ones in late war occupied areas are well known ,but without D-Day London would have been in big trouble with all those others rockets about to be fired towards the UK.
