We have (we hope) managed to extract most of the names from the Civilian War Dead Register of civilians killed in all of the V2 Strikes we have recorded on this site here.
Of course we accept that we may have made some errors and omissions for which we apologize in advance and we would be most grateful for any amendments and comments.
