| HITLER'S MIRACLE WEAPONS VOLUME 3 From the 'America Rocket' to an Orbital Station. Germany's Efforts to Develop Intercontinental Weapons and the First Space Programme Friedrich Georg  • Provides explosive new developments in the Hitler secret weapons story The third volume in this now-established series expands its coverage to examine both Nazi Germany's efforts to develop intercontinental weapons and their grandiose plans for a space programme. The author begins by examining whether the V2 rocket was the final development produced by Hitler, drawing on new and explosive research. He then proceeds to explore, in great detail, Germany's efforts to develop what was called the 'America Rocket', an intercontinental weapon. Much evidence is produced to suggest that planning and preparations were underway for an attempted intercontinental rocket launch against New York at the war's end. A final section of the book examines further German rocketry projects that were on the drawing board by the end of the war, including sophisticated orbital craft. The text is supported by a selection of photographs and diagrams, as well as 16 superb pages of colour artwork, including profiles, computer-generated images of drawing board designs and pictures of the author's own models. About the AuthorFriedrich Georg is an acclaimed weapons specialist and World War II historian, focusing primarily on the secret developments of Hitler’s Germany.
