Ger rocket

B-Steff". According to RocketEncycl(1959), 59> this is a code name for hydrazine hydrate, H2N.NH2.H20, one of the Ger rocket fuels used during WWK. The same code name used during WWI for Ger lachrymator Bromoacetone(qv)... 

As stated above under TNMe, in Ger during WWII, the prepn of TeNMe by this process was scaled up for use as an intermediate and as a substitute for nitric acid in the V-2 rocket (Ref 26). A pilot plant was built at Newark, NJ for prodn using this procedure. It was destroyed by an expln in 1953 and not rebuilt (Refs 33 44). Other prepns of lesser importance are by the action of Ag nitrite on iodotrinitro-methane (Ref 3) by the action of 90% nitric acid and 25% oleum on malononitrile, yield 45% (Ref 40) by the action of mixed acid on a number of aromatic nitrocompounds, of which nitrobenzene, dinitrobenzene, and nitronaphtha-lene gave the best yields (Ref 13a) and by the action of nitryl chloride on salts of TNMe. 

Panzerschreck. A Ger Wwii weapon, similar to the American Bazooka. It fired an 88mm projectile, which was about 50% larger than the Bazooka, but its trajectory was more curved and its range shorter. Two persons were required to operate the weapon. Later in the war, the rocket size was increased to 100mm. This resulted in better penetration, but made the weapon too heavy to use, and it was superseded by the Panzerfaust.

Hs 298 (Henschel 298) was a rocket-propelled, radio-controlled missile designed primarily as an air-to-air weapon to be carried on fighter aircraft as well as the bomber types. There were several versions but the basic type was called Hs 298 V-2. It used a solid propellant (Ref 1, pp 203-05 Ref 2, p Ger 91-L)... 

Note 1 Salbei was a code name for either 99.5% nitric acid or its mixt with 5-10% coned sulfuric acid, added to suppress corrosion (Ref 1, pp 216 231 Ref 2, p Ger 170-R) Note 2 Tonka was a liquid rocket fuel, such as a mixt of crude m-xylidine 57 and Triethyl-amine 43%(Ref 1, p 216 Ref 2, p Ger 199-R) Refs 1) TM 9-1985-2 (1953) 2) PATR 2510...

ROCKET (or Roketto) (Funshindan) or Rocket Ammunition Raketto Danyaku) can be defined as any self-propelled, unguided missile which is fired from a device called a launcher, as was Ger Faustpatrone, Russian Katiusha or Amer Bazooka. Japanese launchers are briefly described here under ROCKET LAUNCHERS. Each Rocket Missile carried its own propeller... 

Stettbacher (Rifs 3 5), who obtd information from Amer journal Engineering of Aug 30, 1946 stated that Ger WWII 320-kg rocket was propelled by mixture of alcohol 32-4 parts by wt and liquid oxygen 67.6ps. 

Guided Missile Launcher. A device or installation from which a self-propelled missile is launched. It usually incorporates a rail, tube, wooden or steel frames, etc for giving the missile initial guidance. Some of the launchers are the same as used for launching rockets. Germans developed and used during WWII many types of launchers and nearly all of them are described in PATR 2510(1958), p Get 164 under Rocket Launcher or Projector with numerous illustrations on p Ger 165. Some of them are shown in the Figs included here...
