ROCKET TORPEDO
NEW NAZI WEAPON U.S. EXPERTS WARNING NEW YORK, Dec. 13. The current tendency to underrate and even ridicule the German _ rocket torpedo is extremely unwise,” said Major De Serversky, in an article in the New York Times. “Such facesaving can lead only to further unpleasant surprises. The fact is that since the Germans sprang the rocket torpedo and took such heavy toll at Schweinfurt we have not made any deep daylight penetrations. Germany has been compelled to expand enormously her fighter protection and equip her fighters with dropable tanks to extend the range. “it is true that German rocket torpedoes at present are attached outside the .planes, thereby hindering their performance, but it would be foolhardy to assume that the Germans will not be revising their plans to house the torpedoes inside.”
