Bersaglieri and waffen ss

The Arado Ar.E.381-3 'Parasite Fighter' was designed to be carried underneath an Arado Ar.234C-3 and released at altitude. It was armed with six RZ65 or 73 type spin rockets. As with the Heinkel P1077 'Julia' the pilot was carried in the prone position. In all several mockups and airframes were constructed and tested, but ultimately the Ar.381-3 remained an unfinished concept at best !
