Aizvīki Kuržemės katile
Aivvikai pargis on siiani hästi näha II maailmasõja aegsed punkrid, kaevikud ja kaponiirivallid, kus hoiti relvi. Üks relvaliikidest oli Katyusha raketiheitesüsteem.
Aizvikai ümbruses oli Kurzeme katla ajal 8. oktoobrist 1944 kuni 8. maini 1945 Nõukogude armee rinde 2. liin ehk varustusliin, kuid parki loodi kaevikud ja punkrid ning seal oli ka panipaik erinevatele relvadele. Üks neist relvadest oli ameeriklaste Studebeker US-6 veoautol põhinev Katyusha raketiheitesüsteem. Lühidalt selle lahingumasina ajaloost -
17. juunil 1941 toimus Moskva sõjaväepolügoonil Punaarmee uue sõjatehnika esitlus, kuna viimane demonstreeris uusimat raketiheitesüsteemi. Meeleavaldus jättis juhtkonna esindajatele väga hea mulje. Nende lahingumasinate masstootmise alustamise korraldus allkirjastati juba 3 päeva pärast, mil sõja alguseni oli jäänud vaid paar tundi. 26. juunil valmivad Voroneži tehases kaks esimest seeriaautot, tähisega BM-13. Need olid mõeldud 132 mm kaliibriga mürskude väljalaskmiseks. See käivitussüsteem paigaldati veoauto ZIS-6 alusel. Pärast salve tulistamist muutis raketisüsteem osavalt asukohta, et mitte sattuda vasturünnaku alla. Komandörid pidid iga masina kadumise eest rangelt aru andma.
1943. aasta aprillis pandi tootmisse ühtne raketiheitesüsteem Bm-13N, mille eesmärk oli parandada masina tehnilisust ja muuta tootmine odavamaks. Enamasti ehitati BM-13 N Ameerika veoauto Studebeker US-6 baasil, mis imporditi NSV Liitu lend-liz tingimustel. BM-13N suutis mürsu välja lasta kuni 8,5 km kaugusel ja kandis 16 laengut koos hooldusega 5-7 inimesega.
Mitmed sellised raketiheitmissüsteemid asusid Aizvīkiu pargis ka pärast II maailmasõja lõppu ja need kohad on looduses selgelt nähtavad.
