    Examines Hitler's extraordinary rise from homelessness to world leadership.Hitler's career remains one of the most extraordinary in world history. No one else has gone from sleeping on park benches to become a world leader. After the First World War he became involved in extremist politics - first on the far left and then the far right.It is often assumed that Hitler's ambitions were never realistic and his failure was inevitable. This book challenges that view and suggests a number of missed opportunities or misjudgements that might have led to a different result.Michael FitzGerald shows how Hitler's personal defects contributed considerably to Germany's defeat. In addition to the military mistakes he made a series of political, economic and foreign policy blunders were major factors in his failure to achieve his goals.

    As the Nazi advance across Europe stalled, Adolf Hitler repeatedly told his military advisers and inner circle that Germany possessed Wunderwaffen - miracle weapons - that would turn the tide and bring the Germans ultimate victory. But was he simply boasting out of desperation, or were the 'miracle weapons' real? This book tells the story of the wonder weapons and types of armament that Hitler hoped would win the war: Nazi flying saucers, the V-1 flying bomb, the V-2 rocket, the V-3 heavy gun and much besides. While some are shrouded in myth and conspiracy, others, like their own projects of nuclear armament, we know to have been real threats to Allied victory. With black and white photographs throughout, this illuminating guide explores a crucial but less well-known aspect of the Third Reich, and how close they came to defeating the Allies in World War II. ABOUT THE SERIES Sirius Military History provides gripping, illustrated accounts of different battles and conflicts, featuring contemporary photographs, feature spreads and fascinating testimonies.

    During World War I, German U-boats had been the most effective naval weapon against the Allies and without America's entry into the war in 1917 Britain could have been starved into surrender. Hitler's accession to power led to the rapid development of numerous military projects, including provision for submarines. Interestingly, the German navy was the branch of the German armed forces with the highest proportion of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. And this is the story of their part in the war, focusing in particular on the role of the wolf pack of U-boats in the Atlantic, whose stealthy presence beneath the waves ensured that British merchant ships were dicing with death every time they put out to sea.
