This is a summary of the French/French
version.
On the 8th of September 1944, there were fireballs
in the sky to the west of Gouvy ("Beuleu Wood" on the road from
Gouvy to Sterpigny ). The cause of this phenomenon were V-2 rockets.
Their target was Paris.

The official opening
of the space era was a bloody tragedy with the V-2 fired from the
region of Gouvy at 11 o'clock in the morning (on the 8th of September
1944).
