Cool!
I was born in 1960, our small towns public library had a HUGE display of model aircraft assembled and donated by a WWII Vet, rockets from the beginning of the space race as well. I never had to be asked twice to go across town with my Dad! |

The SG 500 Jagdfaust was an experimental airborne anti-bomber recoilless rifle designed for use in the Me 163 Komet rocket plane by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. The weapon featured a simple form of automated trigger in which an optical photocell detected the dark silhouette of an Allied bomber replacing bright blue sky and triggered the firing of the armed Jagdfaust guns. The Komet was so fast that pilots found it difficult to fire enough cannon rounds to destroy a bomber in a single pass. The Jagdfaust was developed to address this problem. A 5 cm shell was mounted in a launch tube held in place by a pair of thin pins. Five such tubes were mounted vertically (to fire upward) in each wing root. The design was based on the Schräge Musik, the manually triggered upward-firing air-to-air cannon extensively deployed with the Luftwaffe night fighter squadrons.

A row of seven trucks loaded with Komets, somewhere in East Germany, possibly Merseburg. The two wartime hangars that now remain at Merseburg are of a different type though. The first ('White 42'), third and fifth aircraft all have the same 13. or 14. Staffel badge. 'White 42' and the fifth Komet have the same nose ring, which appears to be yellow with a white edge. The fuselage camouflage of numbers 1, 4 and 5 is clearly the mottle type; the 6th one could be in a solid camouflage. All of them have mottled tails (the 6th can't be seen however). The third aircraft has a unique 'snake' mottling on its tail, never seen before on a Komet. The second aircraft appears to have a non-standard radio antenna: it's narrower, and perpendicular to the fuselage, instead of canted. It is however possible the aircraft is rolled to the right, which would also explain the squashed appearance of the canopy and fuselage. The trucks are GMC 2 1/2 tons 6x6 'Jimmies'.  Attached FileIt is seen here being loaded aboard a C-46 Commando, possibly for direct transportation to the USA. Note that the location appears to be the very same hangar apron as seen in the seven Komets on trucks photo. That would make Merseburg a likely location for this photo. Husum is another possibility.
