 Near the end of the war, German engineers  designed a 80-mm multiple rocket launcher on the basis of captured French  half-track armored vehicles S303 (f) and S307 (f) :the 48 missiles Raketensprenggranate (8cm RSprgr.) 
 The missiles were almost an exact copy of the Soviet missiles M-8, known as the "Katyusha". Only 6 launchers were built to fire these missiles.  Initially, the launchers were tested as part of the Waffen SS, and then were moved to Schnelle Brigade West (21.PzDiv.).
