Re: Kieselsteine

Kieselsteine was a name given to the first series of V-1's which were launched at that period. It happened numerous times that these V-1's were fired upon by the AA batteries of MFA 810 and several were claimed shot down.

I also have a report that a downed V-1, which failed to explode - was examined by an engineer from Gilze-Rijen airbase, who did not exclude that it could be one of the new sophisticated American bombs (as experimented several time a.o. against the Moerdijk bridges).
