Yup the HE-177 Heinkel Greif, unfortunately the wing wasn't strong enough for the pull outs from the 60 degree dive angle that was envisaged and during the dive the E in it's name managed to drop below the I resulting in the Heinkel coming to Grief on several occasions before the idea was abandoned.
