In the area the Germans had built a large bunkercomplex and a V1 launch site named V1 Feurestellung Siracourt.

The Siracourt V-1 bunker was built in 1943–44 by the German forces at Siracourt (in the area od Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise) a comune in the Pas-de-Calais department in Northern-France.
Codenamed Wasserwerk St. Pol (Waterworks St Pol), it was intended for use as a bomb-proof storage facility and launch site for V1 flying bombs. However, it never went into operation due to intensive Allied bombing that made it the most heavily attacked of all the German V weapon sites, and also of all military targets in Europe during World War II.
