This is the true story of the scientific feats and failures of Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

Germany is portrayed as a nation leading the world in science and technology prior to World War Two.

But it squandered this wealth of knowledge, which should have enabled it to win the war, because the high command was selective about those advances they would favor.

Examples are provided of technologies that languished under Nazism but exploded into new industries when they reached other countries after the war.
