	Rheintochter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Rheintochter was originally designed for an altitude of 8000 meters, but when the design was completed the Luftwaffe turned it down, having decided that more altitude was necessary.
		The propulsion unit was therefore redesigned to use solid or liquid fuels, the boost motors slung alongside, and the missile was to be launched from a permanent emplacement in a pit.
		This was Rheintochter 3, and work began on it in May 1944.

	Remote Piloted Aerial Vehicles : The 'Aerial Target' and 'Aerial Torpedo' in Germany
		The Rheintochter surface to air missile was first ordered by the German Army in November of 1942 as a way of reinforcing anti-aircraft batteries across Germany.
		Although promising, the Rheintochter would require time to develop that Germany just didn't have so materials and labor were transferred to other projects which were closer to production.
		The missile was redesigned and redesignated the Rheintochter III.

	Missile Information
		The Rheintochter 1 was launched from a converted 88mm gun mount and radio guided by the Command to Line of Sight (CLOS) technique.
		Late in 1944 the Rheintochter 1 was abandoned as it was unable to compete with the altitude capability of the Schmetterling.
		Rheintochter III was developed for the Luftwaffe and had a greatly improved performance profile, however the project was still cancelled in favour of the Enzian and Schmetterling.

	German Surface to Air Missiles (SAM) in World War Two
		Work began in May 1944, development was delayed because of work still needed on the control system, but was eventually stopped in February 1945, because it was thought to be unlikely to be completed in time to have any effect on the war.
		The Rheintochter SAM did enter service and started to have a major destructive effect on the bombers in their bombing raids over Germany by the RAF and USAF.
		The Rheintochter missile is something to consider for anyone trying to wargame Fatherland style wargames.

	Rheintochter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In 25 September 1942 Goering authorised development of four types of surface to air missiles: unguided rockets (Taifun), target-seeking guided rockets (Enzian); operator optically-guided rockets (Rheintochter and Schmetterling); and radar-guided rockets (Wasserfall).
		This original version of the Rheintochter used a canard aerodynamic layou and had a length of 5.74 m, a diameter of 535 mm, and a 2.65 m wingspan.
		The solid rocket motor for the R-3R had reached the stage of stand tests on 6 February 1945, but further work was cancelled.

	Enzian missile
		A series of 38 flight tests commensed with generally favourable results, but the engine still lagged.
		Finally Dr. Konrad, designing the engine for the Rheintochter missile[?], was asked to modify his design for the Enzian.
		After study it appeared this was a much better (and cheaper) solution anyway, and after January 1945 there were no plans to use the Walter design any more.

	NASM Space Artifacts: Surface-to-air missile, Rheintochter R I
		The Rheintochter (Rhine Maiden) R I was an experimental German two-stage anti-aircraft missile tested in the last year of World War II.
		It was also one of the largest solid-fuel rockets of the war and produced the largest thrust, although for a very short duration.
		This Rheintochter R I was acquired by the National Air and Space Museum in 1969.

	National Air and Space Museum Collections Database
		Initiated by the German Air Ministry in 1942, as part of its program to respond to increasingly effective Allied bomber raids, the RI was also one of the largest solid-fuel rockets of the war and its first stage produced the largest thrust, although for a very short duration.
		Eight-two test missiles were fired in 1943-44, but due to its inadequate altitude ceiling, the RI was to be supplanted by the R III model, a liquid-fuel missile with two side-mounted solid-fuel boosters.
		The U.S. Air Force transferred this Rheintochter R I to the National Air and Space Museum in 1966.

	Enzian Missile
		Walter's 109-739 was still experiencing testing difficulties and was not near completion, so in the Summer of 1944, an order was placed with Dr Konrad of the Berlin Technical School for an alternative rocket motor.
		Konrad was working on testing a motor for Rheintochter R3 and was asked to adapt this for use in Enzian.
		Konrad found that required modifications to his motor would be minimal - not only that, but he could produce his motor for 35 man hours while Walter's was projected at 125 man hours.

		Sie sollte später durch die leistungsfähigere "Rheintochter R 3" ersetzt werden.
		Aus den Erfahrungen mit der Zweistufen-Rakete »Rheintochter« wurde 1943/44 die vierstufige Fernrakete »Rheinbote« entwickelt, welche noch im November 1944 in den kriegsmäßigen Einsatz gelangte und von denen etwa 220 Stück gegen Antwerpen verschossen wurden.
		Die eigentliche Startstufe wurde aus der »Rheintochter« abgeleitet und besaß lediglich die Aufgabe, daß Projektil aus dem Startschlitten zu heben.

	Taifun (rocket) \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		Although never deployed operationally, the system was copied in the US as the Loki, and the USSR as R-103.The Taifun project originally dates to 25 September 1942, when Hermann Göring authorized the start of a number of anti-aircraft projects after a long hiatus when all such advanced development had been frozen by Hitler.
		Along with the Taifun, the Enzian, Rheintochter, Schmetterling and Wasserfall were also given full funding.
		The design was originally started by Scheufeln, an officer at Peenemunde, who wanted to introduce an extremely simple system in case the more complex projects did not "work out".

		By the end of the war, Germany had no less than five SAM systems in development, none of which achieved operational status, but which could have done so much earlier had the Nazi leadership taken the bomber threat seriously.
		The Wasserfall (Waterfall), Rheintochter (Daughter of the Rhein), Schmetterling (Butterfly), Feuerlilie (Fire Lily) and Enzian (Mountain Violet) had been developed with varying degrees of success.
		The most mature of these was the Wasserfall, which became the design template for development of the post-war US Nike SAMs and the Soviet R-101 series.

		As, however, there were some very advanced designs among these missiles, Americans and Russians alike based their own developments after the war on the German missiles.
		Thus for example the 'Rheintochter' ('daughter-of-the-Rhine', a two-stage missile of about 5 m length, built by Rheinmetall-Borsig) was the immediate forerunner of the American 'Ajax' missile.
		The most advanced of all German designs was the 'Wasserfall' (meaning 'waterfall'), which you can see on the left.

		I guess I am saying that it would not be far fetched to see them in a mobile launch set-up.
		The Rheintochter was designed that way, with a launch rail.
		Compared with the V1 launchers the guided missiles, particularly the Wasserfall, had a greater ability to fight back.

	War Front: Turning Point Preview
		By shaping the game around the idea of an alternate World War II, Digital Reality is freed from the shackles of traditional 'historical' RTS titles such as the Blitzkrieg and Codename: Panzers series.
		War Front: Turning Point, gives the development team the opportunity to not only use contemporary weapons or sci-fi heavy armaments (like the Orb Energy Shield or the Sonic Tank), but to add several technologies that were being prototyped during the war (such as the Rheintochter surface-to-air missile system).
		It's a chance to get away from what is a saturated market of World War II-based RTS titles, and it's something that Digital Reality is trying to grab with both hands.

	Vimy Vehicles: The Collection of the Canadian War Museum at Vimy House
		One correction, though: the German anti-aircraft missile is a Rheintochter (III, I believe), not a Wasserfall.
		Aberdeen has a Wasserfall, which looks rather like a V-2 with fins at the halfway point as well.
		Rheintochter has those funny wooden fins on the nose, and really large swept fins at the midpoint and tail (I remember seeing the missile on display with the fins attached at the main museum building when I was a kid).
