Historical Context

The V1 rocket, also known as Vergeltungswaffe 1 (retaliation weapon), was one of the most significant rocket weapons used by Germany in the final period of World War II. The mass use of V1 began in June 1944, when German forces set up specially prepared launch sites in northern France and other occupied regions. V1 launchers were often camouflaged and consisted of concrete launch ramps, logistical support, and technical infrastructure. The Germans launched thousands of V1 rockets mainly against London and Antwerp. The importance of this weapon lay not only in its military use, but also its psychological impact.
