Bachem Ba.349 was the Bachem Project B.P.20.
I believe there was a sailplane with the designation B.P.17.
Do you have information about the other Bachem Projects?

Thanks, Maveric

The Hirth Hi.24 was the Lerche`s contender. Although it was called an observation vehicle, the Lerche`s BA/MA document states it was for airborne infantry assaults.
