More Description
The phrase "German secret weapons" immediately conjures up images of the V-1 and V-2 missiles that bombarded London in 1944. But what of the V-3 and V-4? What of Schmetterling, the Rochling shell, the Kurt bomb, and the Hs293? These, and many other devices, were all part of the German secret armory but are relatively unknown, except to a handful of specialists.
The sheer magnitude of the secret weapon projects of the Third Reich is revealed in this comprehensive study, written by one of the world's great experts on weaponry, which captures both the reality behind the weapons actually produced and the intentions behind projects still in their infancy when the war ended. Comparisons with Allied projects are also drawn.
