About the event:
Discover the thrilling true story of the Nazi rocket terror and the brave
resistance fighters who exposed it.
In June 1944, Adolf Hitler unleashed the world's first rocket-delivered
warheads on London. First came the V1 "Doodle Bugs," followed by the
terrifying, supersonic V2 rockets. Striking out of thin air with zero
warning, these weapons caused over 30,000 casualties and left hundreds of
thousands of Londoners homeless.
But Allied forces were not completely blind to the threat.
In this gripping talk, historian Guy Walters reveals how Winston
Churchill’s intelligence chiefs knew about the V2 weeks before it struck.
Learn how the Polish resistance risked everything to spy on secret Nazi
test sites in Eastern Europe, providing the vital intelligence Britain
needed to prepare for the day of reckoning.
