The terror for the city of LONDON during WWII.
The Fieseler Fi 103, better known as V-1 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 1 (German for "vengeance weapon") was an early cruise missile used during World War II. The V-1 was developed at Peenemünde by the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. Between 13 June 1944 and 29 March 1945, it was fired at population centers such as London and Antwerp. V-1s were launched from "ski" launch sites along the French (Pas-de-Calais) and Dutch coasts until the sites were overrun by Allied forces. The underground V-1 storage depots at Saint-Leu-d'Esserent, Nucourt and Rilly-la-Montagne, as well as the launch sites, were bombed during Operation Crossbow.

I am sorry to say the photo's are taken in the Caen Memorial, as I could not find the ones of the V2 outside this bunker but I will put them on when I find them.
