Welcome to the wonderfully weird World War Two... The Second World War is the bloodiest on record. It was the first total war in history when civilians; men, women and children were in the front line as never before. With so many millions involved, the rumour machine went into overdrive, 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 out-gun 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 fire round corners? Men who never were? You will find them all in these pages, the weird, wonderful and barely believable of World War Two

Did you know that in 1938, the year before WWII, Hitler was Time Magazine's Man of The Year? Did you know that at some point during WWI, horse lives were more valuable than human lives? Did you know that British soldiers drank so much tea during WWI, that at some point the military enforced rations of six pints of tea per soldier per day? During this time the most important events in 20th century history took place and it shaped the course of Europe forever. But few people truly know about all the crazy things that went on during this turbulent time. From the military trying to train seagulls to ships being made out of concrete, this brilliant fact book explores the wars like never before, delving into the trenches and showcasing the military masterminds, weird and wacky weapons, and unconventional battle strategies that marked this turbulent time in history. The perfect gift for history-loving kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews, this book delves into all the conflicts in the war, including Germany's disastrous invasion of Russia, the air raids that decimated much of London, and why the US started communicating in the Navajo language.
