Incredibly, it's a "Krebsgerät" a 21 cm backwards-firing rocket. link Google Image Search is your friend: link To use is, open a new window, go to images.google.com and drag the image from the web page in one window into the search field on the Google page. |

Why did they want to fire it backwards? As the linked article mentions, the pilot couldn't see or aim backwards. And if it was an anti-bomber weapon, then the fighter would have to get in front, then slow down to let the bombers catch up with it. |

Really doesn't make sense does it? Why not just make it fire to the side LOL. Robert |
