Kai -- Do you mean the actual plans themselves (the technical drawings, etc.) or the German intent regarding the development of the rocket?

I was just reading about this recently. I will have to try and remember where, It escapes me right now. One thing I remember though - the German's had proximity fuse ack ack - well reported to Bomber Command in Air Intelligence reports. Just think of that. Remarkeable science for that era.
