I remember reading about the SG (sondergerat / special machine)113 it was a kind of rocket device (a kind of panzerfaust wich i would translate as ironfist) wich was trigerred by fotoelectricety or magnatism , it was not very succesfull also tested on the Henschel 129 .
Interesting stuff thanks and greetings Martijn K
