It would be interesting to know them:
The first value $n! Vol(P(0))=n! Vol(P(n-1))$ is always one.
The triangle of these Volumes starts thus
1: 1
2: 1 1
3: 1 4 1
4: 1 11 11 1
5: 1 x y x 1
where 2+2x+y=120 and y/120 is the volume of the convex hull
P(2)=P(2)_5 of the 20 integral points with coordinates in {0,1}^5 and
coordinate sum either 2 or 3. (Remark that this polytope is symmetric
with respect to central symmetry in its barycenter 1/5(1,1,1,1,1),
this holds of course for all "middle" polytopes P(n)_{2n+1}
in odd dimension 2n+1).
Me: Looks like the Eulerian numbers, A008292 !
