HITLER'S MIRACLE WEAPONS

HITLER'S MIRACLE WEAPONS vol 1 by Friedrich Georg.


This is the first of 3 translated volumes being republished in paperback by Helion and is the result of the author's 12 years of research into both the Nazi's development of nuclear weapons and the carrier craft that would deliver them.
The research has led the author to many archives and he has not only met other researchers willing to share their findings, but hopes his books will tempt others to also pick-up the torch.

In this volume he lays out the findings of his research. He admits it is not a complete picture as wartime documents were either destroyed or are still locked in Allied archives.
The book includes some very rare photographs as well as some artwork of designs of both air and naval craft. 

What about his findings?
He reveals more about Germany's plans to attack US cities with new long-range bombers. There is photographic evidence that such a bomber had been damaged in an Allied air raid. 
A large part of the text is regarding the extent to which the Nazis had researched & were in the process of creating their own devastating bombs.
There is a strong reason to believe they had even tested a nuclear bomb themselves.

Whilst many reports and books state that the Germans stopped all research around the middle of the war, there is enough evidence and reports mentioned here to suggest this wasn't so and that Hitler never gave such an order.

As is well known, all the Allied countries were in a race to find the various scientists and whisk them and their research away for their own use. 
The author lays out his evidence and his own conclusions, but the reader is still left to decide for themselves.
What I believe we can all agree on is that whatever was found by the Allies, including Russia, much is still being kept a closely guarded secret 80 years later.
As the author himself asks, why?

I found this to be a fascinating read at times. In his research he has clearly seen evidence and documents that he could not always publish here. Whether that leads readers to be more sceptical or not, is for each to decide. 
Personally I look forward to immediately reading the next volume that has just arrived. 


Both paperback editions are published by Helion & Company and are available now from their website. 
I thank them for the review copies.

MITCHELL

MITCHELL: Father of the Spitfire  By Paul Beaver. The majority of readers will have heard the name R.J. Mitchell and certainly his most famous aircraft design, the beloved Spitfire. Yet many, myself included, might not have known that his career began in railway engineering. This and so much more is revealed by author , Paul Beaver, who shares the full story of this remarkable man who became Supermarine's chief designer at the age of just 24. Alongside Reginald's career, we also learn how the Supermarine company was founded and then grew during the decades between the two world wars.  Mitchell's answering of Supermarine's job advertisement  would prove to be the beginning of a remarkable legacy. Importantly, o ne the author also states came about with the brains and skills of a talented group of people who have been too often overlooked. This legacy is of course far more than just the Spitfire. Many other types of aircraft especially flying boats were also d...

THE DUMMY DRONE

THE DUMMY DRONE BY Rob More. Away from the Battle of Britain in the skies over the English Channel and Southern counties, or the devastating blitz bombing of London and other major cities, surely  the far North of Scotland would hardly be effected by the second world war?  Well the opposite was true. In this fabulous new book, local author and resident, Rob More reveals how the county of Caithness was a scene of great change from the coastline and beaches to the farmland, hills and villages. Not forgetting all those who lived and worked there.  With the area hosting a range of wartime installations and airfields it received many visits from the Luftwaffe. As we learn in the book, civilians and their properties would also be caught up in these raids. From the radar stations searching for enemy aircraft, to those recruited for the local Home Guard and the lesser known Auxiliary Units. Communities the length of Britain prepared for an expected German invasion. Ro...

ROYAL NAVY FORCE H: 1940-42

Image
ROYAL NAVY FORCE H 1940-42 This is book 14 in Osprey's 'Fleet' series and is written by naval historian, Angus Konstam. If you have read any second world war books on the Mediterranean war and/or Malta, then it is highly likely that Force H and its well respected commander, V.Adm. Sir James Somerville, is mentioned. Based at Gibraltar, Force H patrolled both the Atlantic and the Western Mediterranean often escorting vital convoys to Malta. It was Somerville who led the fleet in the attack on the French fleet at Mers-el-Kébir and they would also be later involved in the hunt for the Bismarck.  As well as describing the fleet's ships, its commander and their wartime endeavors, the role and defences of Gibraltar is also covered. This is an added bonus as most books generally only give Gibraltar a passing mention. With a fascinating narrative, aided with many useful maps, charts and original artwork, it is a book I have certainly enjoyed and would definitely rec...
