Do you have more details?

The report runs to nine pages including two drawings and three photos, of which this is one. I'm sure I'll do something with it eventually. :)
 
Is that a turbojet? AEG did work on aircraft turbines, e.g. in the Me 264...
 
From guided weapons to kitchen appliances - how the mighty have fallen!

(That being said, some of the microprocessor-controllers in the appliances are probably more sophisticated in their circuit architecture than any 1940s guided weapon!!!)

"...and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks..." and their glide bombs into convection ovens. It doesn't really have the same ring to it. ;-)
