Oberraderach ({{lang-en|Upper Raderach}}) was the World War II location of Prüffeld-Anlage Raderach, a V-2 rocket test facility code named "Porcelain Factory" ({{lang-de|Porzellanfabrik}}).[1]{{Rp|99}} Oberraderach testing ensured V-2 turbopumps did not overpressure combustion chambers (there was no controller) and was planned for rocket motors to be installed by the nearby Zeppelin Works ({{lang-de|Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH}}) as part of the Eastern Works (V-2 facilities in the Vienna-Freidrichshafen area). Firings were visible in Switzerland across Lake Constance and testing ended shortly after the facility began operation.[2]{{Rp|207}} The first design sketches for the Oberraderach facility were prepared by Bernhard Tessmann of the Peenemünde Army Research Center, and Captain König was the military representative at Raderach.[1]{{Rp|95}} By mid-1942, the German Army had started construction of the Raderach motor test stand,[1]{{Rp|174}} and a nearby liquid oxygen (A-stoff) plant produced up to 900 tons/month.[2]{{Rp|99}} On July 25, 1943, British V-2 intelligence reported that aerial photographic reconnaissance of Friedrichshafen depicted rocket firing sites like those at the Peenemünde Army Research Center.{{fact|date=February 2013}} On August 3, 1944, the test facility and the ZF Friedrichshafen at Friedrichshafen were bombed. The 461st Bombardment Group's primary target was the "Raderach Chemical Works", and the Zahnradfabrik ({{lang-en|gearwheel factory}}) secondary target was also bombed.[3] The 485th Bombardment Group attacked the "Ober chemical works" on August 16.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book |last=Neufeld|first=Michael J.|title=The Rocket and the Reich: Peenemünde and the Coming of the Ballistic Missile Era|year=1995|publisher=The Free Press|location=New York|page=174,207}} {{coord missing|Germany}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book |last=Ordway |first=Frederick I, III|authorlink=Frederick I.
