The Zeppelin ‘Rammer’ never received an RLM designation, which is an indication that perhaps it was not taken entirely seriously. It was to have been a small conventional aircraft with straight, constant-chord wings and tailplane, and was to have been towed to its operational altitude by a Bf 109 or a Bf 110 and cast loose, whereupon it would start its Schmidding 533 solid-fuel rocket motor and head for the bomber formation, first firing its load of 14 R4M 5cm rockets and then trying to ram or sideswipe the bomber aircraft, using its hugely strong wings. The wing’s leading edges were to have been covered in 3cm- (1.18in-) thick steel, and they were to have had three continuous parallel main spars, fabricated from thick-walled steel tubing, running from tip to tip to slice through fuselage, tailplane or wings. The pilot, who flew the aircraft in the prone position, was not expected to take to his parachute, but was to have landed the aircraft on any convenient piece of open ground so that it could be recovered and re-used. It is thought that no prototype nor even a mock-up of the ‘Rammer’ was actually constructed.

Eduard Schallmoser – “The Rammer”

On 19 April 1944, JV 44 [1] attacked some B-26s, and Eduard Schallmoser, known as “The Rammer” for his penchant for ramming bombers with his jet (Me 262) once his ammunition ran out, had clipped one of the damaged B-26s, and then had to bail out…again, only to land in the garden of his parent’s home outside of Munich!

[1] Jagdverband (JV) fighter unit. The term was only used for JV 44, the Gruppe of jet fighters commanded by General Adolf Galland in 1945.
