The injector head fragment shown here, is from an 4B 1000 kg thrust engine that was developed at Kummersdorf in 1938/39 by Dr Walter Thiel’s combustion research group. The fragment, clearly the remains of an explosion, was actually found in a scrap pile in Peenemüde but the engine was probably tested (and destroyed) at the Kummersdorf army testing station.

Photo shows a small section of the burner cup with row A (2131E) fuel injector inserts with three row B drilled holes below. The two undamaged inserts carry the armament code ‘csl’. The relic was found near a workshop in the Development works Pennemünde. Slag from the cutting flame and damage to the inserts at both ends of the relic would indicate that the section was cut from a steel burner cup using a gas cutter (fuel and oxygen) for purposes unknown.

Cutaway section of fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) injector pot. The exhibit shows the bell shaped thick inner wall of the burner with three tiers of fuel injector inserts (A,D, and E). The central copper alloy LOX spray injector is also well displayed in this image. The thin steel outer shell of the burner cup is shown and affords a good view of the head cavity that supplies fuel to the injector inserts – one A type injector is shown party cut through on the right, its rear portion showing inside the fuel cavity.

Wreckage of V2 combustion chamber with a tangle of connection pipes laying in a garden in Southern England – winter 1944. The censor has obscured the background to avoid providing the enemy with useful information. The injection head shows two connected lock ‘spanners’ securing the nuts of oxygen inlet pipes. Prior to impact all 18 of the LOX pipe input nuts would have been secured by these lightweight pressed steel ‘spanners’.
