Brécourt was a Nazi Germany bunker in Équeurdreville-Hainneville near Cherbourg, in Manche of Normandy, northern France.

History

It was started in 1943 inside an existing underground French Naval oil storage facility. On July 7, 1943, the site was ordered to be completed as a V-2 rocket launch facility.[4] Early in 1944, the facility was converted to a V-1 flying bomb launch facility.[3] and subsequently completed.[4][5]

The Brécourt military installation was virtually undetectable by aerial observation.[6][7] However, the 387th Bombardment Group records indicate Operation Crossbow bombing in Manche of a "Martinvast V-1 site" on 11 November 1943, which may have been Brécourt.[8]

The Allies captured Brécourt a few days before July 4, 1944, and both Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill subsequently visited the facility.[9]
