The Test Pilot died on it´s maiden flight.
The project was closed after that. Despite being a simple idea against bomber raids it never got operational. The idea was to place the Natter near bombers target. Start and climb to attack with the rockets, descent and bailout. Both pilot and airframe would sail down on parashoots. Would have been hard to defend against, imagine how small and fast those things would have been. Just another try in desperation to prevent the allies from bombing civil and military targets.

Don't forget, this aircraft was declared operational just as the war ended. It's the UFO we should have had in 1946, not that silly Lerche.

Oh that´s new to me, I only recall the deadly maiden flight as the only time that a Natter was startet. From what source do you gather information about 'operational state' of Natter. How many Mission have been flown with it?

It's pretty certain there were no combat missions actually flown. However the unit was indeed declared operational in the closing days of the war. Three concrete launch pads were recently found near Kirchheim by a researcher named Horst Lommel. You can see the spot where the simplified timber post goes in.

 Useless speculation without evidence!
