Description: Hitler's Miracle Weapons Volume 2The Secret History of the Rockets and Flying Craft of the Third Reich From the V-1 to the A-9 Unconventional short- and medium-ranged Weaponsby Friedrich Georg Imprint: Helion and Company 140 Pages, 8.7 x 12 in, 16pp color illustrations/photos/profiles, 31 b/w photos & illustrations, 3 tables Paperback9781804517277December 2024 Friedrich Georg's second book explores the V-rocket program, including lesser-known variants and experimental weaponry. Following on from the success of volume 1 Friedrich Georg’s second book in the series covers unconventional short- and medium-range weapons. In particular this volume includes a wealth of information about the V-rocket programme not just the more familiar V-1 and V-2 but special variants of these two rockets as well as later experimental craft and weaponry. Following a fascinating examination of pre-war efforts to build flying bombs the author examines the V-1 and V-2 projects in great detail. Particular attention is paid to special variants that have previously received little coverage. These include the V-2 A-4 ‘America Rocket’ and V-2s designed to carry nuclear and radiological warheads. The capability of the Germans to deploy such weapons is also discussed. A large number of weird and wonderful projects that never left the drawing board are examined including the FR-35 V-6 V-101 Waterfall and Naval EMW A-7 rockets. The fascinating final section examines German plans to utilise such rocketry against London and Paris in 1945 as well as recounting the activities of V-weapons on other fronts including Italy Yugoslavia and the Eastern Front. The text is supported by black & white photographs and 16 superb pages of colour artwork including profiles computergenerated images of designs that never flew and pictures of the author’s own models.
