The Secret War (1979) By Brian Johnson
 
The various secret weaponry and electronics used in WWII. Includes the German Knickebein beams and British counter-measures, the V1 and V2, Ultra and Enigma. Brian Johnson also recalls some of the fantastic weapons which like the magnetic mines had to be countered quickly. There were 40 ton gliders, rocket powered guided missiles and jet fighters, which came too late. There was also the Great Panjandrum; two massive, rocket-propelled, 10 foot wooden wheels, connected by 2 tons of explosives. It was to be launched by a landing ship on D-Day, race up the beach and blow a massive hole in the Atlantic Wall. It was never used because it proved to be more dangerous to those who launched it than it was to the Germans!
