Blockhaus and V1 Launch Ramp
Le Blockhaus d'Eperlecques
Constructed in 1943, the 'Watten Bunker' was never completed before it was captured by the allies in 1944. Constructed to house around a hundred V1 rockets, the facility would incorporate a secure railway station and liquid oxygen manufacturing facility. The facility came under heavy allied bombing and substantial damage was cause as a result of direct hits from RAF tallboy bombs.
