Post by RichardAckermann »

Does anyone know what unit symbol was used for the nazi V1 / V2 long range rocket LCUs?

The units tasked to launch V1 and V2 did not use dedicated tactical symbols for security / deception reasons.

The unit launching the V1 for example was disguised as a Luftwaffe AA unit (Flak Regiment 155), in conjunction with the cover name of the V1 = "FZG 76" = Flak-Zielgerät 76 ("AA targeting device mark 76").

The "V" units were regarded as artillery, therefore the "Rocket Artillery" symbol would be most appropriate.

Jein... naturally, the Luftwaffe never 'designated' them as crude 'cruise missiles' (V1) or even ballistic missiles (V2); and there wasn't, as you stated, a specific Taktisches Zeichen assigned to the rocket forces.
