Geocache Description:

This cache will bring you to one of the coolest World War relics in Putnam County Indiana, the Buzzbomb. I have always wanted to place a cache here and finally got up the nerve and did it. Parking is available all around the area. HIGH MUGGLE AREA! BEWARE!!! BYOP!

**Cache is hidden in the light post. There aren't many places for this one to be. Coord's are off by a little bit, they actually show it as being in the road, but the day I was hiding it I was parked right by this post.**

(The website below details how the Buzzbomb ended up in Greencastle in the first place.) (visit link)

The V-1 flying bomb, also known as the Buzz Bomb or Doodlebug, was an early pulse-jet-powered predecessor of the cruise missile.

The V-1 was developed at Peenemünde Airfield by the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. During initial development it was known by the codename "Cherry Stone". The first of the so-called Vergeltungswaffen series designed for terror bombing of London, the V-1 was fired from "ski" launch sites along the French and Dutch coasts. The first V-1 was launched at London on 13 June 1944, one week after (and prompted by) the successful Allied landing in Europe. At its peak, more than one hundred V-1s a day were fired at southeast England, 9,521 in total, decreasing in number as sites were overrun until October 1944, when the last V-1 site in range of Britain was overrun by Allied forces. This one just happens to be one of the few left in existence. Its designation is: FZG-76 Interestingly enough this is one of ONLY two V-1s on display in the US. The other one is in the Smithsonian in Washington DC.
