In 1944 the V-1s and V-2s, Hitlers vengeance weapons, were regarded by the Allied leaders in London as the single greatest threat they had faced. It was feared that these flying bombs and rockets might turn the tide of war once again in Germanys favour. Yet, little more than half of these missiles hit their targets, some failing to explode. Their wreckage lay across the southern half of England or in Europe, with contents liable to sudden and deadly ignition. It was the job of specialist Bomb Disposal teams to render the V-weapons safe and uncover their secrets. This is their story. In this unique book Chris Ransted has investigated the work of these unsung heroes who risked their lives every time they were called into action and, in the course of his research he has located the sites of many of the unexploded V-weapons, revealed here for the first time. Mr Ransted also details the methods used by the Bomb Disposal men and the equipment they used. The book is richly illustrated with 266 photographs and diagrams, many of which have never previously been published. In completing this, the most comprehensive study of its kind, the author describes the deeds of those gallant Bomb Disposal men that were awarded one of the highest honours which could have been bestowed upon them by their country the George Medal.

The German Third Reich had the most technologically advanced and innovative weapons industries in World War II, with aircraft, tanks and bombs that could match and beat anything else in the World. What is less known is the extent of Germany’s secret weapons development. Germany pioneered rocket and jet-propelled aircraft, the pilotless plane, long-range rocket technology and ‘robot bombs’, and the world’s first super-heavy tanks. Many of these weapons had a real impact on the course of the war. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union and the realization that the war could continue for years, Hitler put great resources into the development of new and technologically advanced weaponry, in the belief that the production of ‘wonder weapons’ were the key to winning the war.

It all began with a loose-knit group of scientists and engineers in Weimar Germany. Fixated on the idea of rocket propulsion, they formed "The Society for Space Travel" in 1927. Some people called them dreamers who gained their inspiration from Jules Verne and the movie "The Woman in the Moon." Their experiments with rockets often came to naught and sometimes blew up in their inventors' hands. Twelve years later, Adolf Hitler had plunged Germany into the most terrible war in history. By mid-1944, German armies were reeling on all fronts and vast Allied bomber fleets were devastating the Third Reich, while Germany had no strategic air force of its own. The Allies, after their conquest of Normandy, thought the war would be over by Christmas. But then the German rockets appeared. From the flaming continent of Europe, robot bombs with one-ton warheads suddenly came soaring against England. These sinister weapons took no evasive action and could not be deterred by bad weather or darkness -- they could not be stopped unless they were destroyed. This book provides rare, unpublished information on the terror that fell on Antwerp and the city of Liège in the winter of 1944-45. The rockets did not stop falling until their launch sites had been overrun by Allied troops. This work provides an operational context to the Third Reich's missles that has previously been neglected or ignored. - Jacket flap.

Hitler’s regime was notorious for its many experiments and its various secret ploys, weapons, and technological developments. But typically, the term “secret German weapons” only turns up images of the V-1 and V-2 missiles that played a part in bombing London in 1944. But truth be told, there were many more unheard of weapons behind the Third Reich. Many of these weapons have been unknown to the general public. Here, Ian V. Hogg, one of the world’s leading experts on weaponry, reveals the sheer magnitude of Hitler’s secret weapon projects, from the V-3 and the V-4 missiles, to the Schmetterling, to the German nuclear bomb, to the question of nuclear war and more. This detailed account of the myths surrounding secret German weapons examines the various fields the Germans concentrated on during their weapon development process and discusses difficulties that arrived in the process and how, in many cases, the ideas were exploited by other nations. German Secret Weapons of the Second World War draws comparisons between similar Allied projects and narrates the deeper purpose behind many of these projects. Many of these developments were not completed before the end of the war, but have created a solid foundation for many of today’s great military developments.
