Germany required a way to counteract Allied bombing in 1944, and a lack of fighter firepower led to the development of the Bachem Ba 349 Natter, a piloted rocket interceptor. Before ejecting, the interceptor was released vertically, with the pilot directing it onto opposing bombers. The plane was dangerous, and it was termed a German Kamikaze. Built in small factories by untrained laborers, the plane never saw combat since the war ended before it could be completely completed. The remaining prototypes serve as a reminder of German engineers' recklessness and desperation in the last days of World War II. Countries had few alternatives for defending against aircraft bombing formations during WWII. Since 1937, the Messerschmitt Me 163 Comet was an experimental German rocket-powered fighter. However, production could not be rapidly ramped up, and guiding systems were untrustworthy. Germany was particularly pressured because it lacked an adequate strategy to defend its cities from incessant Allied bombing. The Luftwaffe opted in 1943 to equip missiles with a pilot for the terminal approach phase, resulting in the emergency Fighter program. The Luftwaffe was looking for designs for a basic interceptor constructed from common materials like wood glue and nails, and it needed untrained employees and subterranean factories. The plane was supposed to take off vertically, however the design allowed for a horizontal departure on a tricycle wheeled trolley. Junkers, Hinkle, Bachem, and Messerschmitt submitted proposals. The Henkel P 10 77 Julia, a single-seat interceptor with a pilot prone to the ground, was chosen as the preferable design. The prototype, however, was destroyed during an Allied attack on Vienna in 1944. The Bachem Ba 349, a human-guided missile, was the backup option.
