Hitler's
Miracle Weapons: Secret Nuclear Weapons of the Third Reich and Their Carrier
Systems: The Luftwaffe and Kriegs,Arome
by Friedrich Georg
Book Description:
How close did Hitler come to his dream of developing nuclear weapons?
What evidence is there for the design, testing and production of such weapons,
and their carrier systems? With this first volume in a series of at least
three, Friedrich Georg has begun to answer these questions in great detail.
The result is a groundbreaking new book on this topic.
This first volume describes the efforts of the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine
to design and produce carrier-systems for the nuclear weapons the scientists
of the Third Reich were developing. Following an introductory section in
which the author outlines the Nazi atom bomb programme, Georg then investigates
the enormous variety of craft the Luftwaffe began to either adapt, or develop
anew, that would be used to carry such weapons of mass destruction. These
included the search for an intercontinental 'Amerika-bomber', including
the innovative Horten Ho XVIII. Lighter designs, such as the Arado Ar E
555, Messerschmitt P 1107 & 1108, and Junkers EF 132 & 140 are
also described. The various atom bombs themselves are thoroughly investigated,
from the 1ton to the massive 30-ton variety. Information about the variety
of carrier systems being developed-and in at least one case, actually built
by the Kriegsmarine is also provided. Finally, the author investigates
the reasons why Germany ultimately failed to produce the atom bomb.

Talons of the Eagle : Secret Nazi Technology Which Could Have Changed the
Course of World War II
by Gary Hyland, Anton Gill
Much has been written about the doodlebugs, V2 rockets, and other advanced
technologies that the Nazis used to terrorize Europe during World War II.
But there is a less well-known story: under the barrage of Allied bombing,
German scientists were secretly devising plans for an incredible battery
of weapons that had the potential to drastically affect the outcome of
the war. There were designs for a hypersonic space plane-a manned V1 flying
bomb from which the hapless pilot would eject moments after aiming his
craft at an Allied target-and plans for aircraft that consisted only of
wings. There were dozens of other prototypes that were technologically
way ahead of their time-against which the Allies would have been helpless.
Exhaustively researched and grippingly written, Last Talons of the Eagle
shows how history might well have been very different had these craft ever
flown. Amazon.com

Secret Weapons of the Second World War : The Missiles, Rockets, Weapons
and New Technology of the Third Reich
by Ian V. Hogg
Weapon-by-weapon study by a leading expert & Exposes the full extent
of the Third Reich's secret weapons program & Separates fact from fiction
The sheer magnitude of the secret weapon program of the Third Reich is
revealed in this comprehensive study, which covers weapons actually produced
and projects still in their infancy when the war ended. The infamous V-1
and V-2 missiles that ravaged London are well known. But what of the V-3
and V-4? What of the Schmetterling, the Rchling shell, the Kurt bomb, the
Hs293? What of Germany's programs for nuclear and chemical warfare? This
volume examines the specific weapons on which the Germans concentrated,
the difficulties they encountered, and how some concepts were subsequently
exploited by the Allies. It explodes some of the myths surrounding Hitler's
secret weapons to reveal a truth all the stranger for being fact. Amazon.com

Germany's
Secret Weapons in World War II
by Roger Ford, Paul Wood
During the course of war, man's ingenuity inevitably results in the
development of new tools of destruction. At no time and place in history
has this been more true than World War II Germany, when scientists and
engineers of the Third Reich mounted a campaign intended to change the
face of warfare itself. Superbly illustrated with full-color drawings and
specially commissioned cutaways, this study provides a wealth of information
on all of Germany's secret weapons programs during World War II, offering
an in-depth look at Germany's successes and failures with rocketry and
jets, helicopters, submarines and torpedoes, armored fighting vehicles,
artillery, anti-tank armaments, and surface-to-surface missiles. Each piece
of artwork is accompanied by a comprehensive specification table. Amazon.com
