Artefacts, Wernher von Brauns Experiments in the 1930’ies

1: The Nozzle System of the RZ-65 Solid Propellant Rocket, it was spin-stabilized and originally intended for air-to-air combat. It was later used as the basis of the Do-Werfer (“Do” as in “Dornberger”), a fog-projector used in WWII. 2: Experimental Nozzle System for the 15-cm Do-Werfer fog-projector, exterior. 3: Experimental Nozzle System for the 15-cm Do-Werfer fog-projector, interior. 4: Nozzle Systems, production version. The nozzles have been built into a ring to ensure safe handling. 5-6: Experimental Nozzle Systems for the 21-cm Grenade Launcher. All Nozzle Systems are oblique to stabilize the rocket through spin, a traditional Artillery Technique.
