ABOUT THE PLAQUE

WWII Vengeance 2 Historical Plaque | Includes Authentic V2 Rocket Relic – 8"x10" Display

Learn more about this artwork and the relic

This 8” x 10” (20 x 25 cm) historical plaque combines this rare artifact, along with the story of the piece, and a beautifully detailed illustration created by artist Craig Tinder.

2 March 1945, at the Hoek van Holland V-2 Missile launch site, 20 members of the German Artillery Regiment 1./902 meticulously readied 22 V-2 rockets for an extensive assault on London. Replenished by recent rail deliveries, they armed a 22,000-pound rocket with its ethanol and oxygen propellants in preparation for that day's mission.

The launch was initiated at exactly 5:35 am with a sharp call of "Hauptstufe!" from the launch control officer, propelling the rocket skyward toward England.

After a rapid 296-second flight, the rocket descended, detonating violently in a field near Chigwell, 3 miles from London, damaging a nearby house 700 meters from the crash site. Within 7 minutes, a second V-2 suffered a mid-air explosion only 300 meters from the first impact.

In April 2014, this V-2 fragment was recovered from the debris field near Chigwell. The precise origin of this fragment, from either of the rockets, remains a mystery.

Each plaque includes:

  • A piano black wood base with a removable kickstand—ready to hang or display upright
  • Metallic fine art by artist Craig Tinder
  • An authentic fragment recovered from a V-2 Rocket (each piece is unique; photo shows a representative sample)
  • A historical data plate detailing the artifact’s provenance
  • A Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the artist

Supplies are extremely limited—once these sell out, they will not be restocked.

Note: Accessories shown in photos are not included. Includes wood plaque featuring artwork and historical relic only.
