Under the Nazi regime, fringe sciences were legitimate areas for research and development, resulting in funding for projects that were too outrageous for other governments. During the last six months of the war, it seemed obvious the Germans had been defeated, but Hitler continued to believe that victory would be achieved through the use of Wunderwaffen ("miracle weapons"). Separating the cutting-edge science from impossible creations, Michael FitzGerald discusses Nazi flying saucers, the V-1 flying bomb, the V-2 rocket, the V-3 heavy gun, and the legendary German nuclear program.
