Thinking a coolio project, any one aware of a German base that launched both these things? Thinking aerial map photos etc for a full build.

Not an expert, but the only dual-launch site I know of was the test facility at Peenemunde, and even there they were opposite sides of the complex.
Plus the fact that they were used by different branches of the military, Luftwaffe for the V-1s and Wehrmacht for the V-2s, until the SS took them both over.
Also, IIRC, the V-2s were not launched from fixed bases after the first ones in France were knocked out by air attacks.

Peenemunde it is then, need to start looking for good aerial photos . . .
Seems like we did this as well. Operation Crossbow? Hmmmm . . . . I have rockets and rails and minis, including the Natters . . . Hmmmm . . . A map base like we did at Ploiesti would be fun
.
Or make up your own base. I did that for drafting class in high school.
Then you can add some Wasserfalls or Rheintochter SAMs

After seeing Clipper's Möhne dam come to near 1:1 scale, I'd be hesitant about making a rocket site!
I've been looking at the Peenemünde site as it has a lot of history; and some RNZAF pilots and crew were involved, encountering one of the first uses of "Schräge Musik." A different way to use P for Popsie!
The current satellite imagery covers many of the actual launch pads, so I looked to the HTM Historisch - Technisches Museum Peenemünde website.
I tweaked the original CC 4.0 file (details at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/al...hmentid=293000), and squeezed it into an "A3" sized page. I was looking to print and flock it for my humble table, but could easily scale it for you requirements ...
Terry!
Oh, that's just Grand!
Many thanks for posting this!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Lets see what the Elves come up with!
Very nice, Terry!
Nice map conversion!
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
