War Documentary hosted by Stuart Smith, published by History Channel in 2005 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

This Documentary opens a Pandora's box of weird, wonderful, and scary World War 2 weapons. Some of them were so unreal that they never made it past the design stage. Others had their prototypes built and tested. Others were used in combat to terrifying effect.
Whether it was death rays and huge wire nets in the sky to catch bombers, flying saucers, warships carved out of ice or rocket-powered tanks - the imagination and ingenuity of both Allied and Nazi weapons experts and their mad efforts to outwit the enemy and win the war knew no bounds. The documentary Weird Weapons of World War 2 reveals the secrets of these bizarre weapons.

Directed & Produced by Martin O'Collins ; Darlow Smithson Production For The History Channel

2)  The Axis
Between 1939 and '45, the world was locked in a nightmare struggle of unprecedented ferocity. When the smoke from WWII cleared, bizarre stories emerged of extraordinary armaments dreamt up by both sides' most inventive minds--weird weapons unlike anything before. New ways of bringing destruction to the enemy were born of desperation and wild imagination. And in a world gone mad, nothing seemed too strange to try. Axis powers tested a strange range of weapons: a vortex cannon designed to tear wings off aircraft, an assault rifle that could shoot round corners, a death ray that could boil people alive, and most bizarre of all, an army in space. Much like The Allies, the Nazis also had a large inventory of new weapons that they planned to utilise during World War II. In this documentary take a look at some of the weirdest weapons invented by the Nazis including the Krummlauf (an assault rifle with a curved barrel), the elefant tank and a sound gun.
