A fascinating illustrated account of a crucial but less well-known
aspect of the Third Reich.
The story of the weapons that could have won the war: Nazi flying
saucers, the V-1 flying bomb, the V-2 rocket, the V-3 heavy gun, as well
as the Nazi nuclear program and much besides.
Under the Nazis, fringe sciences were legitimate areas for research and
development. Unorthodox ideas and projects that were too outrageous for
other governments received funding. During the last six months of the
war, it seemed obvious the Germans had been crushingly defeated, but in
spite of the military situation, Hitler continued to believe that
victory would be achieved. He repeatedly told his advisors and inner
circle that Germany possessed Wunderwaffen-miracle weapons-that would
turn the tide and give the Germans victory.
