Rumpelstilzchen

WWII anti-tank rocket from AEG.


There is minimal data about this anti-tank missile project.The interesting thing was the way of controlling the missile by a light beam modulated by 4 different frequencies (KERZE system).About 100 pieces of this missile were produced for experimental purposes.The experimental firing was done by ground firing, the planned launching from planes ended up in absolute failure.
The project led by Dr. Klug was stopped and cancelled before the development work was completed.
