I'd rather say Konrad aka Conrad did not have much to do with the Enzian. He only developed one of the engines intended for the missile, as well as for the R 3. But the original idea of the Enzian came from FGZ Stuttgart.Enzian :Forschungsanstalt Dr. Konrad / Messerschmitt

Yes, there were probably no canards. But the canards of the 70 cm span were developed indeed, after first test flights and after tests in the AVA Göttingen wind tunnel.There were no canards on the built examples. Perhaps the canards would have been placed on a production version.
