I could've sworn that a couple of years ago, I read somewhere of a

of me, come up with anything via Google. Did I dream this?

piggybacking on my own message

Naturally, a matter of minutes after posting this question, I found what
I was thinking about: the Fritz X missle.

There was also the Hs 293.

Both were used mostly in the middle of the war, 1943, in the
mediterranean.

Yep. Found a lot of stuff on those, too. Fascinating stuff.
