Find the body of the

The houses have discovered the fragments of the German V1 bomber during World War II were shot down when it was targeting London.

V1 is the unmanned, predecessor of today's guided missile . It was one of the thousands of ' revenge weapons' of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II. Most of the 10,000 V1 bombers took off from German launchers on Dutch soil and targeted southeastern England in 1944 and 1945.

To protect London, fighter pilots have practically mastered shooting down German bombers, while anti-aircraft gunners have also destroyed a lot of V1. The V1 whose body was unearthed in a forest in Kent (England) did not reach London because of that.

But many of them were caught in the air and reached their destination, robbing the lives of more than 6,000 Britons and injuring tens of thousands of others. These bombs are also devastating and often burn the targets it targets.

Bomber V1 operates with compressed air, has a wingspan of more than 5 meters and carries a warhead weighing about 850 kg, which can fly up to 240 km. V1 often took off from the launch pad and reached a maximum speed of 640km / h, driven by a jet engine, so it was called a flying bomb by the British. The noise that the V1 made was so loud and intense that it was particularly frightening in the southeastern part of England, especially when it flattened across its head at the end of its landing.

Hitler said that the V1s were used in response to the Allies' destructive attacks on German cities, such as the city of Hamburg, which lost 35,000 lives in just a few days of the year. 1943.

The fighter pilot and Allied anti-aircraft gunner have found a way to deal with V1 only a few months after the aircraft is put into use. The V1 was unearthed in the forest near Kent, England was shot down on August 6, 1944 by a Polish pilot, Air Force Sergeant Józef Donocik, who was driving a Mustang P-51 by American production.

The first V1 was launched on June 13, 1944 and quickly found a way to neutralize by London, but Nazi Germany also used another weapon of revenge called a V2 rocket the next day. when launching the first V1.

The archaeologist, Colin Welch, said his team conducted several excavations and found evidence of the V2 rocket. Most of the metal parts of these weapons are decomposed in moist soil and acidic, but the aluminum parts remain quite intact, such as the V1's fuel compressor, some parts of the navigation system and jet system and fuel combustion chamber of V2. Mr. Welch intends to create an online museum to display these artifacts in the form of 3-dimensional images with historical information about campaigns using V1 and V2. He said that 'this is our history and it needs to be kept responsibly'.
