Great book, but probably not for everyone

If you like WWII stuff, gadgets, and have a bit of an imagination, this book is definitely for you. Kind of blends a bunch of facts (which it does a good job of telling you what is true and what's not) with some fictional writing. I thought the fictional part would be a little hokey, but was actually very entertaining.

Wild Weapons of the Third Reich

MY TANK IS FIGHT! is the strangest collection of data on bazarre Nazi secret weapons projects that still have yet to be realized. Some, like the Super Monster Tanks and the suicide cruise missles, were clearly impractical and would never see the light of day. Others have come to fruitition: The Sanger Space Bomber is now the Space Shuttle and the Horten Flying Wing is now the B-2 Bomber but we've yet to achieve the Orbital Space Station equipped with solar collector mirrors to fry the "enemies of the Reich" from outer space. Talk about Star Wars on steriods! Viewed objectively, the Third Reich was the most technologically advanced civilization on Earth in the mid-20th century and we've yet to acknowledge this. This book makes it quite clear and would be a great topic for a George Norrie "Coast to Coast" radio program! A real eye-opener on World War II, it is an awesome read....

Real History/ Mad Science

Truth is stranger than fiction, & this collection proves it.

All of the weapons discussed here were either produced, proposed or researched during WW2, & any of them could have found a place in a B&W Sci-Fi flick or Republic Movie Serial.

And oddity among history books, it covers oddities in WW2 History.

Last note: don't dismiss the ideas presented in this book. Research Engineers have an astonishing, and sometimes unnerving, way of turning the silliest dreams into well-functioning reality. Be glad they didn't with these concepts.

Fantabolous!

Now this is a title perfected for anyone infatuated with obscure wierd inventions, the world war ii, obscure canadian indie-rock bands with lovecraftian influences or just loves to read about enormous tanks with bullets that befit a mad megalomaniac to-be world conqueror.

If you like the title, why not try the song? My Tank from Great Old Ones

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

My Tank is Fight! is a humorous look at more than 20 unusual or insane inventions of the Second World War. Each chapter features a detailed examination of the real history and technology behind each invention. All 19 chapters are linked by a fictional narrative that explores what might have happened had the inventions been put to use during the War. The book is also lavishly illustrated, with 18 full-color illustrations and more than two dozen detailed black and white illustrations. My Tank is Fight! is not a dry analysis of the forgotten weapons of war, it brings those weapons to life.
