Every once in a while, a book comes along that you can’t put down. For me, it’s typically a fictional mystery. Hitler’s Miracle Weapons, Volume 2 offers all the suspense of a fiction mystery, except that it’s not. It’s non-fiction, is full of surprising facts, offers clues to mysteries still yet to be solved, and will keep you wanting more.

The use of rockets and rocket-powered flying craft by the Third Reich is not a new discovery, but what were the real intentions in terms of the development and use of these strange and mysterious weapons? Was Wernher von Braun just reaching for the stars? What secrets are still hidden in large underground rocket bunkers in France and Germany? Why are many documents regarding Hitler’s rocket program still classified today? Was there a V-Weapons atomic rocket unit?

If you are curious about any of these questions and many more, this book is an absolute must-read.

The 118-page text is organized into three parts and each part has its own subsection. Photos, drawings, profiles, and captions all supplement this well researched and foot noted text.

Friedrich Georg does an excellent job conveying technical and historical information in a format that moves like a fictional mystery that keeps the reader involved and often wondering what would have happened if the war in Europe didn’t end in the spring of 1945.

As stated earlier, this book is a fascinating read on a fascinating subject. Thank you to Casemate for the review sample.
