A II. German secret weapons of World War II

Hearing the term “German secret weapons” most people usually think of the V-1 wing bomb or the V-2 missile with which the Germans attacked London in 1944. However, in addition to the two weapons mentioned, the German secret arsenal included the V-3, the V-4, the Schmetterling, the Röchling grenade, the Kurt bomb, and the Hs 293, to name just a few. . A comprehensive study written by one of the world’s most respected weapons experts details the secret weapons that were made, as well as the devices — along with the intentions to use them — that were still under development at the end of the war. The book examines in detail all areas of German arms development, describes and analyzes the different ideas, the difficulties involved in implementing them, and how in many cases the German plans were incorporated into their own armaments program after the war. Although many German secret weapons were not built before the end of the war, new foundations were created for the development of weapons today. The book dispels some of the legends surrounding Hitler’s secret weapons and presents reality.
