The complex (museum) is in the Foret d'Eperlecques about 5km from Watten, France.
During the second world war, the Germans build a large bunker. This bunker was used for producing liquid oxygen and to launch V2 rockets to England. Allied bombardments disabled the complex. Currently the complex is a museum. Visitors are guided through the complex with a PA system.
