1469 Inside the Mountain

The unknown V3 or 'London cannon' was built inside a mountain at Mimoyecques, France. Details and more information can be found by the links.

After the construction site was discovered by the Allies, a bombardement with 'tallboy'-bombs took place. The workers inside the mountains searched for cover in the lower levels of the site. Unfortunately, all these were flooded because of the bombardement; more than 20,000 people died inside the mountain; their remains still rest there in the deep....

Scary place.....
