'''I was voted the Sweetheart of 3/Art. Abt. (mot) 485'''<br>
Contrary to what Weisenburger claims in his Companion, there ''was'' such a unit. In fact, their job was launching V2s. Under the supervision on SS-Gruppenführer Kammler, Division z. V. (zur Vergeltung) was set up for launching A4 rockets [http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/V2.htm]. Within the Division, Artillerie-Abteilung (motorisiert) 485 belonged to Gruppe Nord, together with SS-Werfer-Batterie 500. The Abteilung (batalion) was transformed into a regiment in August 1944. While launching units 1 and 2 were in the Hague area, 3/Art. Abt. (mot) 485 was stationed in Western Germany, with targets in France and Belgium.
