We believe that as the number of people who lived through the terrifying V2 Rocket campaign this site is concerned with diminishes relentlessly then it necessarily follows that the pool of knowledge of these events also diminishes.
Although you may be reluctant to revisit events you have probably spent the best part of your life trying to forget, it is our hope that you will enable us to transform this site into more than just a bland list of official reports by sharing your stories.
The easiest method is to complete one of the comment forms available on most pages. Your e-mail address will definitely NOT be available to anyone other than the administrator of the site.
Please note
All of the information we have on ALL of the V2 incidents is included on our site.
We cannot and do not offer any research services.
