Wasserfall Rocket

Wasserfall was a German guided surface-to-air missile project developed during the Second World War. It sought to engage high-flying bombers using rocket propulsion and ground-controlled guidance. Testing took place, but the program did not produce an operational air-defense system before Germany’s defeat. Its history concerns the technical ambitions and difficulties of early guided missiles, without a record of combat victories over Allied bomber formations. The project drew on rocket-development experience at Peenemünde, but engaging aircraft required demanding guidance and control systems. Tests did not produce a dependable operational air-defense network before Germany’s defeat. Proposed warhead effects and altitude figures describe intended performance rather than an established combat success.
