Weird War Two: Strange Facts and Tales from the World's Weirdest Conflict by M J Trow
Welcome to the wonderfully weird World War Two. The Second World War was the bloodiest on record. It was the first total war in history when civilians - men, women and children - were on the front line as never before. With so many millions involved, the rumour machine went into overdrive, tall stories built on fear of the unknown. With so much at stake, boffins battled with each other to build ever more bizarre weapons to outgun the enemy. Nazi Germany alone had so many government-orchestrated foibles that they would be funny if they were not so tragic. Parachuting sheep? Pilot pigeons? Rifles that fire round corners? Men who never were? You will find them all in these pages, the weird, wonderful and barely believable tales from World War Two.M J Trow is the author of the long-running Inspector Lestrade and 'Mad Max' Maxwell detective novels, as well as various nonfiction publications, including Who Killed Kit Marlowe?
