On March 1, 1945, the world's first manned rocket, the revolutionary Bachem Ba-349 "Natter," was launched near Stetten am Kalten Markt. It was the first rocket to use booster rockets for launch assistance, was steered via manually operated jet rudders, and featured a beam-guided system for connecting to bomber formations. Its armament also included rockets fired from the nose of the fuselage. In this unique documentary, Horst Lommel presents facts and rare photographs; eyewitnesses recount the dramatic events of the Natter's testing, which also paved the way for manned spaceflight.
