Try this one

It's a Triode Tetrode with a common cathode

Naturally the sheet (with all data) is in German.

I doubt many made it here, it may still be available in Europe

There was a feature on one of the German Volks Empfanger, made during the Nazi period. In an electronics mag I can try two contacts.

Not sure what was in it? It may be worth a search, albeit I would be inclined to use a valve like that as a modulator.

However, Geman engineering always has been at the forefront.
