    Anyone have ideas? I want to visit really cool places.

    I'll be in France, Germany and some other places.

    Does anyone know where the V2 rocket sites are?

    I don't know what to visit haha.

    Hi Marker,
    Welcome to the Forums! :cool:
    The only V-Weapon sites I've visited myself were both around St Omer, in the Pas de Calais; Eperlecques and La Coupole.
    If you go to the Military Archaeology thread (page 5)further down the forum, you'll see pics of both that I posted after my visit in 2005.
    Both are worth visiting.

    Both Eperclecques and La Coupole are well worth a visit. The museum at La Coupole is excellent, with plenty of displays including down bomber wreckage and V2 engines etc.

    The Eperclecques bunker is absolutely mind blowing. The construction is amazing. It's not as much of a museum as La Coupole but again, well worth a visit.

    Selwonk, this thread is almost 3 years old. I suspect he's already been and back. He hasn't posted since, so I'm closing the thread.
