- Book Synopsis
- A war as extensive and long-lasting as World War II produces an incalculable number of artifacts. And museums as big and well-stocked as the Imperial War Museums have plenty of the ones you'd expect to find: tanks, jets, helmets, guns, and the like. But there was a whole lot more to the war-and a surprising amount of it is, well, downright weird. Weird War Two pulls the strangest items from deep within the IWM's archives to offer a surprising new, wildly entertaining angle on the war. From wacky inventions such as flying jeeps and bat bombs to elusive secret agents, from wholly bizarre propaganda posters to a dummy whose role as a decoy enabled a daring escape, and from inflatable tanks to painted cows-really-Weird War Two reminds us that human ingenuity is boundless, yet at the same time that usually means that truth ends up stranger than fiction.
