Nazi German A-5 rocket launches off from a pad in Greifswalder Oie an island in Germany, during World War 2. The A-5 was a precursor to the A-4 or V-2 rocket. Rocket takes off emitting smoke and fire. It moves unsteadily upwards as a fiery flare emerges from its tail. A German Fieseler Storch aircraft takes off from the launch site and flies over sea to locate the rocket after it has descended into the sea.The plane then lands, and a ship with a German flag hoisted over it carries the recovered missile to shore. Details of damage sustained by the missile and its recovery parachute bay are shown, as well as details of the exhaust steering vane assembly.
