HITLER'S V-WEAPONS SITES
Book Type: C By Philip Henshall. This is the first comprehensive guide in any language to the sites involved in the V-weapon program, tracing the development of V-weapon technology and the German "super gun", the HDP. The author examines the role of V-weapons in WWII, going on to explain how the storage and launch sites were built and how they were defended against the air campaign that followed. Many of these installations still exist despite repeated efforts by Allied bombers to destroy them. A comprehensive gazetteer reveals what is left to see today of these massive structures both above and below the ground. Extraordinary feats of engineering were required to build storage and launch facilities for these powerful missiles, a large network of sites being constructed across France, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands (even Italy). This book features a large table that list every site and its location, and its original purpose. Besides the excellent photographs - wartime and the remains today, there are many technical drawings and blueprints/architectural renditions. This is really a superb reference book. 210 pp.
