Re: German rocket launchers

Re: German rocket launchers
Nice pictures, Sturm78.
There is a small wire on the top picture that goes from a small wooden pole to each rocket and at least to another pole. Is it the ignition wire?

Re: German rocket launchers
Yes, it's the Gluehzuendkette - four igniters with different delay trains, launching a rocket every 2 s after a single electrical impulse.

Re: German rocket launchers
Amazing!
Where this particular launcher comes from?
It seems to be complete, as opposed to the Moscow example.

Re: German rocket launchers
It's in my collection at the US Army Air Defense Artillery Museum.
Re: German rocket launchers
Do you know the history (war and postwar) of this launcher?
I've never expected there was second Luftfaust preserved (except of a poor copy in the US).
