This book is an illustrated history of the secret weapons that changed the course of World War II. Deep in the bunkers of Nazi Germany, many of the world's top scientists worked to create a new generation of war winning super weapons. A few of these, such as jet aircraft and the V2 rocket, became realities at the end of the war, others never made it off the drawing board. Written by a noted research scientist, this book charts the history of secret weapons development by all the major powers during the war, from British radar to Japanese ray guns, and explains the impact that these developments eventually had on the outcome of World War II.
