A Rheinbote (right), and two Rheintochter missiles

Rheinbote (Rhine Messenger, or V4[1]) was a German short range ballistic rocket developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig at Berlin-Marienfelde during World War II.[2] It was intended to replace, or at least supplement, large-bore artillery by providing fire support at long ranges in an easily transportable form.
