    Light reading tonight

    From my shelves a fairly comprehensive analysis of Germanyicon's secret WWII weapons programs some that came to be and others that were a bit of a pipe dream.
    They had early trials with a submerged launching system for the (A4) or V2 rocket with several containers made up but it was shelved as the Atlantic ocean would wreck the whole show.

    They were on track to build an ICBM with around a 2,000-3,000 ml range but again events and dabbling squashed further development.
    The jets are in there as well as the rockets the Natter was a weird one 49,500 ft in a minute then glide back down with rocketing the B-17's, again a folly not pursued past testing.
    I have another book that details a flying saucer they built 40,000 ft in 3 minutes again it was said the Russians captured all the stuff.
    Thankfully the chook had a wobbly head and allot of worthy projects got lost by jealousy and plain old ineptness.

    My wife and I (PPV) watched a movie the other day and I thoroughly recommend it it is called;
    "And The Catcher Was A Spy" based on a true story about an OSS recruited in WWII you can also look him up on Wiki one very smart fella, Morris "Moe" Berg.
