Kriegsmarine Hydrofoils

I have heard about German Hydrofoils during WW2 before, but it is very hard to find reliable sources on them. I namely want to know their speed and armament, which are two things I haven't been able to find on them. The main ones I want to know about are the vs-6, vs-7, vs-8, and vs-10 if possible. Thank you

useful site http://german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ship ... index.html

interesting one was the large transport http://german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ship ... index.html if that thing had worked a lot of their transport problems in Med would have been solved.

in 1939 an explosive Motor boat, remotely controlled from another vessel was developed from Helmuth Walter ,with the aid of Dr. Tietjens, using hydrogen peroxid (T- Stuff) . The boat was designed for 60 knots Speed and one ton of explosive to be carried in the bows.
The boat was build and experience were made in the Fjord Schlei, near the Baltic sea, but never used operationally.
