Description

During the dark days of World War II, Hitler’s scientists were hard at work forging weapons to turn the tide in their favor. The result was weapons like the Me-262 jet fighter, and the V-1 and V-2 rockets. The Nazis still lost the war, but these weapons changed the face of world military arsenals for decades to come.
