THE INFORMATION ON THE V-4 COMES FROM THE "SUPERTAJNE BRONIE HITLERA" BOOK BY I. WITKOWSKI:
"In 1948 I had my holiday in Miedzyzdroy from the beginning of June up to the end of July. It was shortly upon my
transfer to the reserve from the Polish Military Forces, where I served as a gunner (in battery of 120mm mortar).
From the local inhabitants I found out that at some 7 or 10 kilometres not far from the open sea-shore since the days
of the war there were some spots and installations for launching of the secret German "Wunderwaffen". They mentioned that there
were V-1. Actually, that region was located among the seaside dunes here and there towering above for several meters
and in general between the sea-shore and the lake under German name "Jordan-See" (I don't know the corresponding
Polish name) which extended for the distance from one and a half to two kilometres. There were located:
Nearer to Miedzysdroy : there were two installations for launching of V-4 based on the concrete supports like
"ski-jump" - see picture No.1, which were taken by me for likely launchers of V-1 shells the local inhabitants
- hereditary German fishermen - supported me.
But probably those installations were for launching of V-4 shells. They were directed to the North towards Bornholm
and the southern shores of Sweden. When surprised I asked the German fishermen: "Why are they directed to
Sweden?" they answered: "We (Germans) thought that when we begin to lose the war, Sweden will
take English side. England may also occupy Norway and even the southern Sweden, then they will
be right in front of our shells".
