Saint-Leu-d'Esserent is a commune in the Oise department in northern France.

Saint Leu is notable for {{convert|3000|m2|sqft}} of mushroom caves under the Thiverny plateau.[1]

History

During World War II, the caves were one of three major underground V-1 flying bomb storage depots. In addition to the caves, the facility included blockhouses, bunkers, flak emplacements and railway links. Allied intelligence firmly identified late in June 1944 that Saint-Leu-d'Esserent and Nucourt were V-1 storage depots.[2] On 27 June 1944, Saint-Leu-d'Esserent was initially bombed by the US Army Air Force,[3][4] then on July 4/5 1944 by two RAF forces (the first unsuccessfully used Tallboy bombs in an attempt to collapse the limestone roof of the caves).[2][5] Finally on 7 July 1944, an evening RAF raid successfully blocked the tunnels.[6]

The storage dump at Thiverny[7] was bombed in 1944 on May 5,[8]

July 11,[9]

July 12,[10][11]

and July 19.[12][13][14][15]
