Fritz X was the most common name for a German guided anti-ship glide bomb used during World War II. Fritz X was a nickname used both by Allied and Luftwaffe personnel. Alternate names include Ruhrstahl SD 1400 X Kramer X-1 PC 1400X or FX 1400 (the latter is also the origin for the name Fritz X). Along with the USAAF’s similar Azon weapon of the same period in World War II it is one of the precursors of today’s anti-ship missiles and precision-guided weapons.
