EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the remnants of the German V-2 rocket base at Watten, near St. Omer, France, during the latter stages of World War II in 1944. The image showcases the massive concrete bunker, which measured an impressive 300 ft. in length, 200 ft. in width, and 50 ft. in height. The V-2 base at Watten had been a significant target for the Royal Air Force (RAF) due to its role in the development and launch of the deadly V-2 rockets, which could travel up to 21,000 ft. in altitude and reach targets over 200 miles away. By July 1944, the RAF had launched extensive bombing campaigns against the Watten base, as seen in the large piles of debris surrounding the bunker in this photograph. The impact of these attacks was significant, as they not only damaged the infrastructure of the base but also disrupted the German military's ability to launch further V-2 rockets against Allied targets. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of the devastating effects of war and the determination of the Allied forces to disrupt the enemy's capabilities. The concrete bunker, once a symbol of German technological prowess, now stands as a testament to the destructive power of war and the resilience of those who fought against it. This image offers a poignant reminder of the past and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
