Episode Synopsis

James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Nigel Jones to discuss the German wunderwaffe or 'wonder weapons'. Hitler's Germany was responsible for some remarkable advances in military engineering, from long-range ballistic missiles, to the world's first ever jet powered fighter plane. However, Nazi ambition far outweighed the country's wartime capacities and many of these weapons were not available until too late on in the war. So what if these had been ready sooner - could it have made a significant difference to the outcome? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
