Publisher's Summary:

Welcome to the wonderfully weird World War II.

The Second World War is the bloodiest on record. It was the first total war in history when civilians, men, women and children were on the front line as never before. With so many millions involved, the rumor machine went into overdrive, with tall stories built on fear of the unknown. With so much at stake, boffins battled with each other to build ever more bizarre weapons to outgun the enemy. Nazi Germany alone had so many government-orchestrated foibles that they would be funny if they were not so tragic.

Parachuting sheep? Pilot pigeons? Rifles that fired around corners? Men who never were? You will find them all here - the weird, wonderful, and barely believable of World War II.

Wonderfully Weird

I donât know where to start! Itâs full of strange anecdotes and facts that keep you reading onto the next one. A fantastic informative brilliantly written book. Iâm struggling to find words to describe it. Weird War 2 will have you absorbed and wanting to shout out to those around you what you have just read.

I know I will be sharing this book with my mum as Iâm sure she will find some of these hard to believe.

Itâs great for quick read. Also easy to pick up where you left off if you need to put it down (which Iâm sure you wonât!)

What I love about the book is that although they are described as facts, the truth be told that itâs not known for certain whether they did happen. But for in my own little world I would have loved for them all to be true.

So hereâs my favourite fact in the book. Itâs called Fanta â a German drink made from leftoverâs of leftoverâs that resembleâs ginger ale but was actually made from whey and apple pomace. Definitely not the Fanta we know today!

I thoroughly recommend this book to World War 2 buffs and also those who love to read plain weird things.

I would like to thank T Squared Books and the author for providing me with a copy of this book. I requested a copy of this book as I have an interest in World War Two and the events that took place during the war. This book was a truly interesting read and I enjoyed learning about inventions, ideas and people involved in World War Two. The things talked about in this book are not the most well known facts about World War Two so it is nice that they have been put all together in one book so it is easy to get a copy of and learn some unusual things about the war. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in history and World War Two because this book is as informative about unknown ideas and inventions as it is interesting. I found this book to be gripping and kept me trapped the pages for long periods of time. After reading this book I definitely want to invest in more books by Richard Denham and M.J. Trow. I am certain that this book will remain a part of my ever-growing book collection for all time.

Highly recommended

This was a fun and informative read. I enjoy the author's ability to switch between admiring, disgusted and funny depending on the subject. Some of the facts and stories are so crazy they are almost unbelievable but they did happen. Things such as the mystery board game, the leningrad orchestra, cryptic cross word and the saint of auschwitz are even slightly spooky. A good punchy book.
