Nord-Pas-de-Calais [SEP] World War II
During the occupation of France, it was attached to the Military Administration in Belgium and Northern France, ruled from the Wehrmacht "kommandantur" in Brussels. The Nord-Pas-de-Calais region was used for vengeance weapon installations, including extensive V-1 "ski sites" that launched attacks on England and massive bunkers for the V-2 rocket and V-3 cannon. Operation Crossbow counteroffensive bombing by the Allies devastated many of the region's towns. Although most of the region was liberated in September 1944, Dunkirk was the last French town to be freed from German occupation (on 9 May 1945).
