PLEA FOR YOUR STORIES.

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.

For longer contributions/articles please consider our Your Stories Pages

We have, after an increasing number of requests, added a section for V1 and other WW2  memories

You are also welcome to use our CONTACT FORM if you wish.

Please note

All of the information we have on ALL of the V2 incidents is included on our site.

We are more than happy to help if you are having trouble in finding any specific incident.

We cannot and do not offer any research services.

We are happy to include a new section of articles submitted by visitors to our site. In most cases they are descriptions of individual events described by survivors and or witnesses to the actual event.

To every contributor we send our sincere thanks and eternal gratitude.
