The Fritz X met with some success.

Wasn't there also a case, when a German guided missile hit a US
troopship and sunk it with thousands of casualties?

No

Can't remember where
I exactly read it, but it was written to be such large catastrophy, that
it was hushed down and filed into cabinets, so it is still pretty much
unknown happening.


So unknown several books have been written about it and a
Google search returns 222 hits

It was a British ship called the HMT Rohna carrying US troops and
was sunk off the North African coast by He-177 bombers of 11/KG-40
using Hs-293 glider bombs

Some 1,047 US troops and 102 sailors were lost.
