A truly awesome structure built entirely from insitu concrete and manual slave labour. There is as much below ground as above and working conditions must have been horrific. The roof is over 10' thick.
If the V2 had been fully operational then the war could have ended very differently. Thankfully the RAF Lancasters managed to land a direct hit with bunker busting bombs which left the site beyond salvage.

Well worth a visit by anyone visiting St. Omer.
