Sottevast was a Second World War bunker complex for launching V2-weapons in Sottevast near Cherbourg, in Normandy, France. It was built, under the codename Reservelager West (Reserve Store West), by the forces of Nazi Germany between 1943 and 1944 to serve as a launch base for V-2 rockets directed against southern England. The bunker was never completed as a result of the bombings by the British and United States air forces as part of Operation Crossbow against the German V-weapons program and the Normandy landings in June 1944.
