The channel "US WW II Bombers" has run several episodes concerning air-to-air rockets, fired from both FW-190 and ME-262, during the last months of the war, along with hints that the Germans were six months from deploying proximity fuzes. It's mostly from US documents, some of which are translations of German documents. It would be interesting to hear more about them from the German original documents.
