Use of Parachutes on Luftwaffe Air Dropped Munitions
Apart from LMA, LMB and BM1000 parachute mines, were there any other bombs or mines which used parachutes to control their descent? These parachutes were deployed by a cable or lanyard attaching it to the aircraft

The SB 1000/410 used a parachute, I believe. Used by Me 410s on the Bristol raid of 15 May 1944.

I'd like to mention the book German Air-dropped Weapons to 1945 by Fleischer. A recent look at some boxes I had in storage revealed books I forgot I had.
