V1 Feuerstellung 620 - FA Vormontage

This German base was used to launch V1-bombs, mainly to London.

Upon their arrival at the launch complex, the trucks with the V1 bombs landed on the concrete platform. This building, with two large doors at both ends, housed the workshops. Here, the elements of the V-1 bombs were assembled, with the exception of the wings that remained on the side of the transport trolley. Once mounted the V1 bombs were driven to the ski-shaped warehouses, where they waited for their launch.
