History Of Germany's V-weapons and military railways in World War II 708th, 709th, 740th and 743rd

Impact: The History Of Germany's V-weapons In World War II 1998 by Benjamin King During World War II, when the V1s and V2s soared in their thousands against London, Antwerp and other targets, they were launched by Germans who had made a technological leap over their Allied scientific counterparts. Ultimately, as the German front fell back, the V launch-sites and factories were overrun. Nevertheless, for a time, the Germans had wielded a revolutionary new weapon that we now know pointed to the future of warfare. This intensely researched book overturns many of the myths about the V-weapons by tracing their development under pressure, their employment in combat, and the massive effect their existence had on operations.

The last picture I know very well where it was taken. The large dome in the background is the large central station building. Picture was probably taken on 27th november 1944 when a V2 impacted on the busy crossroad there killing 157 civilians and dozens of Allied soldiers. It would not be the worst impact yet.
