More about the book
The book delves into the development and impact of Germany's V1 and V2 weapons during World War II, highlighting their role as both military innovations and propaganda tools. It explores the grim realities of their production, relying on forced labor from concentration camps, and the desperate measures taken by the Nazis as they faced defeat. The narrative contrasts these "wonder weapons" with the true super-weapon of the era, the atomic bomb, and discusses the post-war implications, including Operation Backfire and the acquisition of German rocket scientists by the Allies.
