Re: Rocket anti-aircraft fire

Stephen,

It would certainly be interesting to explain these observations. I would say that the real phenomenon which led to these trails and puffs of smoke is likely to be quite mundane. On the Eastern front, a 'Tiger' tank mentioned in a Soviet report was in fact a Panzer IV more often than not, and the same was the case for the even more rare 'Ferdinand' tank destroyer, which were reported destroyed by the dozens when less than a hundred were manufactured.

Regards,

Dan
