True Crazy ! When I started researching the rocket, air to air and ground to air back in the late 1960's there was not a whole heck of alot of materials and of course we did not have the net as we do know to share our knowledge. There is still so much guessing as to what protypes existed as what maybe have been set off from the ground and towards Allied bomber formations. From materials that I have accessed, it appears many were fired off as an experiment but nothing in anger except for the V-1 and V-2 plus the air to air missles/rockets that I mentioned. i've always presumed at least 50 or so of the ramp like ground rockets were fired from near the bigger cities at US B-17's and B-24's, but have never found from what Luftwaffe test or operational flak unit they were a part of......
and hey it's ok to what if !
