The ''Meillerwagen'' ((英語:Meiller Vehicle)) was a German World War II trailer used to transport a V-2 rocket from the 'transloading point'〔 of the Technical Troop Area to the 'launching point', to erect the missile on the ''Brennstand'' ((英語:firing stand)), and to act as the service gantry for fuelling and launch preparation. The unofficial 'Meillerwagen' name was often used in official documents and refers to a parts supplier for the trailer, Meiller-Kipper GmbH of Munich, Germany (founded 1850). The Army Research Center Peenemünde designed the ''Meillerwagen'', and the Gollnow & Son company assembled the ''Meillerwagen'' from supplied components. The ''Meillerwagen'' was assembled with Italian and Russian prisoner laborers of the Lager Rebstock. The ''Meillerwagen'' was vehicle code number 102 of several vehicles in a V-2 launching battery,〔 〕 which included an 8 ton launch control vehicle. Launching of V-2s from mobile equipment was studied under code name ''Regenwurm'' ("Earthworm") to replace bunkers such as at the Watten bunker.〔 〕 ==Operation== The ''Meillerwagen'' A-4/V-2 transport-launcher device consisted of the following vehicles: * ''Feuerleitzugmaschine'' Sd.Kfz. 7/3 (command vehicle) * ''Feuerleitpanzer'' Sd.Kfz.251 (command vehicle) * Hanomag SS-100 (tractor vehicle) * ''Meiler-Wagen'' (V-2 mobile wagon-launcher) * ''Opel-Blitz T-Stoffwagen'' (fuel car-tanker, possibly of the same "Ausf. S" version as used with the Me 163B) * ''Kesselanhänger für Fl-Sauerstoff'' (liquid oxygen wagon-tanker) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meillerwagen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
