"Swallow-10 X cruise missile" uh, I knew of the "loon missile" but I had no idea that the soviets also made a "copy" of the V1, thanks for the correction.
I think they made a twin pulse-jet version as well.

Looks like it would have to come apart at altitude so the poorass pilot could parachute to save his poorass!

It appears they put the 16XA exhaust directly into the fin-rudders.

The pictures of Sugamo Prison reminded me of something. When I was about11 years old, living in Tokyo, our family went To Yokohama (I think) to an auction of seized German property. This was stuff that had been owned by Germans living in Japan during the War. Whether they were Embassy people or just who they were I don't know. I remember bidding on a few items and winning a pair of maple skis and a box of German 78 rpm phonograph records. These were mostly marches and military music. I have tried to find information about these German seized property auctions in about 1949 but I have found nothing. Shinpachi, you are the research genius- have you heard of this?

German citizens in Japan seemed to be sent back to Germany by the Allied vessels in four times from February 1947 to the end of the year or early 1948.
1st by "Marine Jumper(from Yokosuka)" for 1,100 citizens plus 100 from Shanghai. Most of them were war-crime suspects.
2nd by "General Black(from Yokohama)" for the following 4 attaches of German Embassy in Tokyo.
Mr. Wolfgang Galinsky (born in 1910)
Mr. Franz Xrapf (1911)
Dr. Richard Breuer (1912)
Mrs. Lore Kordt(1915)
3rd and 4th were provided for the rest ordinary citizens but ports are unknown.
Total citizens were about 3,000.
Belongings for boarding were restricted to minimum except Mr. Franz Xrapf for unknown reason.
