"From bizarre propaganda posters to eccentric spies, from pigeon parachutes to ventriloquist dummies, from tickle sticks to fly swats; Weird War One celebrates the creativity, innovatiion and ingenuity that resulted from "the war to end all wars." It is proof that, as ever, the truth is stranger than fiction."--Back cover.
Welcome to the wonderfully weird World War Two... The Second World War is the bloodiest on record. It was the first total war in history when civilians; men, women and children were in 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 out-gun 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 of World War Two
