Summary: Field trials with a large rocket powered amphibious (?) vessel.
Description: The film gives the specifications of this 17.5m long, 19 tonne 'vessel', which has an appearance somewhat similar to a small submarine. A static test in the water (in the Schlei estuary, see notes) is performed - a powerful jet issues from the large rear orifice of the device. There are then shots of refuelling with "T-Stoff" (hydrogen peroxide) and "Z-Stoff" (permanganate solution). In a second trial, the device starts from a position offshore, drives itself up the beach, through a wire fence and into a field of cattle. This is followed by shots of the (damaged) runners under the device and of the tracks made in the field.
