V1 rocket. V2 rocket. space techonology. ~ The impact of the V1 pulse jet and V2 rocket~powered weapons is a subject central to the history of the Second World War. In this important new study Philip Henshall describes the development of the V1 and V2 and gives the results of his comprehensive investigation of the sites built by the Germans to store, service and launch the rockets. His fresh look at the mass of physical evidence in Northern France has led him to some startling conclusions about the strategy behind these structures. The site organization shows that originally the bulk of the offensive against the United Kingdom was to be carried out using the V1 from sites where little attempt at concealment was made. The servicing and launching sites built for the V2 show that they were also intended for long~range developments, including the A9/10 combination, capable of reaching the U.S.A. One of the sites included silos for the launching of the V2 ~ strong evidence that the Germans intended to use nuclear or chemical warheads against Britain. Detailed site plans and a comprehensive text explain the military implications of this technical achievement and analyze the factors which thwarted Hitler's ambitious and almost successful endeavour.
