Hitler's Secret Weapons of Mass Destruction

The Nazi Plan for Final Victory

De: Michael Fitzgerald

Narrado por: Mark Meadows

Nazi Germany was driven by a desire to dominate the world and create a new master race. Every aspect of life in the Third Reich was focused on the goal of Aryan supremacy, and science and technology were no exception. Under the Nazis, conventional science and a range of fringes sciences were legitimate areas for research and development.

Unorthodox ideas and projects that were too outrageous for other governments received funding. On the one hand, the Nazis denounced reason and praised what they called "thinking with the blood". On the other, there was a strong modernist wing within the party led by Goering and Goebbels that called for constant new inventions.

During the last six months of the war, it seemed obvious the Germans had been crushingly defeated, but in spite of the military situation, Hitler continued to believe that victory would be achieved. He repeatedly told his advisors and inner circle that Germany possessed Wunderwaffen - miracle weapons - that would turn the tide and give the Germans victory.

This is the story of the weapons that could have won the war: Nazi flying saucers, the V-1 flying bomb, the V-2 rocket, the V-3 heavy gun, as well as the Nazi nuclear program and much besides. Listen to this book, and you'll discover just how close Hitler was to being right about the effectiveness of the weapons at his disposal.

Facts but too much fiction and myth.

I received a free copy in exchange for my unbiased review.

When the author sticks to the facts the book is very interesting. When he goes into fiction, speculation, and conspiracy he loses his way. He makes excuses for why weapons weren't developed or used not acknowledging how poorly the war, research, and material were managed.

I'm sure he doesn't mean to be an apologist but it sometimes sounds this way. One reviewer makes some troubling pro-German statements.

The good guys

What we could have had if the good guys were not ganged up against by 3 zog empires.

Good in practical, less in experimental.

This book tends to present wild Nazi experiments with the same solemnity as as their actually developed technologies. It’s fine when talking about rockets and planes and tanks, but when it starts going on about The Bell and Foo Fighters I can’t take it super seriously.

Right. They had microwaves

And atomic bombs
But still lost
