V2 and V3
Hi guys, I recently had a few days on my hands so decided to go to France for 2 days, my itinerary took me first to Le Blockhaus (d`Eperlecques or Watten) V2 site on Day one and then to La Couple V2 site and Mimoyecques V3 site on day two, The V3 site never whent in to operation, it is estermated that in full production it could fire 600 shells a London a day from its 25 guns, this site was knocked out 0n 6th of July 1944 by tall boy bombs which killed thousonds of forced laoubors at the site
Dose any one have any info on more of these sites in France
I will post some pictures soon
