German 88mm Rocket

[jvollenberg]

Any ideas on this German 88mm Rocket?

Length: 800mm
Length with fins deployed: 725mm

What does the lettering say on the body? It doesn't have a nozzel for gas to push it, so it seems to be a warhead or finned projectile.

Lettering

The lettering is from the museum it states:

Rocket
F.F.A.R
88m/m
Ger.

I was wondering the same thing ... no nozzles, how can this be a rocket? Thought it might be a projectile of some sort. However I was starting off the markings the museum put on it.

F.F.A.R= Fowlding Fin Aircraft Rocket. So most presumably it is used underwing an aircraft.

If its in the museum i think its in then it only can be from Hillersleben proving ground Germany.
And then documents are very hard to find :sad:
