Really liked this book. A good overview of the war with particular focus on the British and Polish resistance movement to Nazi secret weapons. Nice pacing and some very interesting anecdotes, although 1 in particular seemed completely superfluous to the rest of the narrative.

I was a little disappointed in this book. I was expecting it to be more about weapons, technology, and their usage - it was more a disjointed history of Nazi Germany with frequent references to Penemuede. Too much politics, not enough missles

Book on the V-2 Rockets from all points of view including the allies efforts to destroy it.
