English: 1943 Royal Air Force reconnaissance photograph of V-2 rockets at Peenemünde Test Stand VII

English captions of this photograph in published works (Not all sources label each object with the same letter)

  • This photograph of Test Stand VII, taken on June 23, 1943, was the first to reveal rockets. Two A-4s (V-2's) at least thirty-eight feet long are indicated lying horizontally at (B). Buildings where rockets were stored are indicated at (A).[1]
  • German rockets (A) and Meillerwagen trailers (B) were quickly spotted at Peenemünde in June 1943; but the long object pointing out to sea from the airfield--seen on the same photograph--was wrongly interpreted as 'a length of pipe' connected with offshore dredging operations. Only in December was it realised that this structure (C) and the adjacent one (D) were prototype flying-bomb catapults. All A 4 rockets were test-fired either from the elliptical Test Stand VII (E) or from its triangular foreshore.[2]
  • Test Stand VII as photographed by the United States Air Force.[sic] A. A V-2 on its Meillerwagen. B. A mobile test stand. C. The assembly hall for mobile test stands, where finished V-2s were stored. N--north.[3]
  • An RAF photograph taken on the 23rd of June, 1943, provides a view of two V-2 rockets lying side by side (A) within the elliptical earthworks at Peenemünde, where the missiles were tested. Also visible are giant cranes (B) and the missile storage building (C).[4]
  • An aerial photoreconnaissance plane was sent on June 23, 1943 and obtained the first photo of the V-2 rocket (Figure 18). This aerial photo shows Test Stand VII at the German Testing Center with a V2 rocket on its trailer inside of the test firing area. It also shows possible anti-aircraft gun positions on top of an adjacent building.[5]
  • Peenemünde before and after the bombing[6]

No. 540 Squadron RAF Flight Sergeant E. P. H. Peek in a de Havilland Mosquito PR4[7] returned to Leuchars airfield on June 23, 1943 with Peenemünde photos showing a pair of low-loader vehicles[8] holding a pair of rockets.[2][7]

Chronology

The first RAF photo on April 22, 1943 of a 1 1/2 mm "object" -- A-4 model 21 within Test Stand VII -- was not initially identified as a rocket.[2] After reviewing Peek's June 23 photo, Flight Lieutenant Andre' J. A. Kenny changed the designation of the 1 1/2 -mm-long-specks from 'objects' to 'torpedoes'.[2] Then more than a year after the initial rocket photos (even after Operation Hydra had bombed Peenemünde on August 17/18, 1943 based on other intelligence), a May 5, 1944 photo of Blizna by the Photographic Reconnaissance Unit (PRU) at a new base at San Severo Italy showed a rocket on a narrow-gauge railway line,[2] but the Crossbow committee put the photographs aside.[6] Finally, after the report of the Bug river wreckage, Reginald Victor Jones methodically examined the photographs of Blizna through the night of June 2/3, 1944 and found a faint white line image of the rocket on a loop of the narrow-gauge railway.[6] Kenny subsequently called back earlier Peenemünde photographs and identified several finned 'objects': on railway trucks, outside tall upright buildings, and on the traverser carriage serving the ellipse; as well as evidence of a heavy and violent explosion with blast damages to buildings at the 'launching pad'.[2]
