La Coupole is a significant historical site in France, originally constructed by Nazi Germany during World War II as a massive underground bunker and launch facility for V-2 rockets. Located near Saint-Omer in the Pas-de-Calais region, it was intended to be a launch base for attacks on London and southern England. Today, La Coupole operates as a museum and history center, educating visitors about the wartime events, the technology of the V-2 rockets, and the broader context of the conflict.
