Summary: Brief details and trial firings of the Hs 293 V3 air-to-surface guided missile.
Description: The opening sequence of the film, showing close-ups of the missile, demonstration of the control system and attachment to He 111H, duplicates (with a few omissions - no close-up of the guidance equipment) the first part of the previous film (GWY 1434). Specifications and close-ups of the Walter 109-507 rocket motor are given. The fairings are put in place and the motor wheeled up to the He 111 and attached to the Hs 293 already in position. A diagram gives the intended courses of the aircraft and missile after release (differs from that of the previous film). A number of trial firings are shown (on 25/7/1941, 30/11/1941 and 1/12/1941), the first filmed from a chase aircraft, the others from the guiding aircraft. In each case hits are scored on the target (the same barn as before with an extension).
