Hitler's Secret Weapons of Mass Destruction

Hitler's Secret Weapons of Mass Destruction is a book by Michael Fitzgerald.

It examines a number of "secret" weapons (often based on new technologies) that Hitler insisted were "miracle weapons" that would halt the advancing allied armies in their tracks, reverse the fortunes of the German armed forces and bring the ultimate victory that he had long promised the German people.

However, what were these "miracle weapons"? Were they real or fantasies within the mentally diseased mind of Hitler?

In his book Fitzgerald examines the remaining records and archives of both Germany and the allied armed forces and he proves that some of the weapons were real attempts to use science to create weapons that would defeat the allied forces. A problem faced by researchers such as Fitzgerald is that many of the records were destroyed in allied bombing campaigns or were destroyed by the German armed forces or taken by Soviet army units.

He looks at the rocket programme of the Germans, flying discs, so-called foo fighters, alternative energy production and much more besides.

He also takes time to debunk some of the more hysterical claims so beloved of conspiracy theory fanatics.

For example he makes a detailed examination of The Bell. He writes about what The Bell wasn't (it wasn't anything to do with anti-gravity for example) it might, he speculates, have been designed to breed uranium or plutonium or could have been an early type of particle accelerator. 

He shows that one of the apparent mysteries surrounding The Bell project was merely a mistake in transcribing the name of a female scientist involved in the project.

It's an interesting and informative book and is published by Arcturus Publishing and costs £7.99.
