Sample set of 3303D type fuel injector inserts that were found in Peenemünde in part of a group that were bunched together in a space about 300mm in diameter with the remains of packaging. They appear to be manufacturing samples and and some have been graded with numbers 1,2,3, as well as with red and white paint to show the burner cup echelon position (C or D). Five different manufacturers are represented in this group. V2RH collection image

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.

The injector head section of the 4B 1000kg thrust rocket engine is a precursor to the injector pot or ‘pre-chamber’ design used later for each of the 18-pots of the 25-ton V2 rocket engine. Most of the essential ingredients are shown in this drawing from 1940. Drawing no 1848E Deutsches Museum München online archive ref FA 014/12829
