I think that the tail gun on some Heinkels was fired by the pilot and he had a rear view mirror to sight it - just like on a car.
Some Heinkels had a grenade launcher in the tail.

Thanks for your response. I wonder what CG Grey was talking about? There can only be one Schmid Mucke. CG Grey had his information from somewhere.
We could speculate endlessly.
I guess, like Mr Pickwick, we just have to wait for something to turn up!

Regarding the Mucke
by queer coincidence I have just re read CG Grey's wartime book "Luftwaffe". At the end he gives a list and details of what was then thought to be Luftwaffe aircraft. AND he says
Schmid
Mucke. Communications Monoplane. 50 HP Zundapp.
Thats it - and it was looking for this...
