Hitler had some of the most technically advanced weapons of the time and still managed to fail, but what if he had succeeded? What weapons could he use to have overcome the world? One of Adolf Hitler’s most top secret bombs: The Fritz X – grandfather of the modern smart bomb.Prototype testing revealed that the success rate with this radio-guided bomb was over 80 times higher than with conventional free-falling bombs of the time.In every documented case the destructive power of the Fritz X proved so strong that it would completely rip through any battleship it hit. It would never explode while still inside the ship, but on exiting or in the water.The original Fritz warhead carried over 700 pounds of explosives.

Runtime:..................59Mins

3.Women
Women who were drawn into the war were workers, mothers and combatants for the first time in history and those experiences were filmed, sometimes by women themselves.In Germany, amateur filmmaker Elisabeth Wilms shot everyday life of women in her home city of Dortmund and as those lives changed she continued to record events, including the stunning films of the destitution experienced by women in the immediate aftermath of the blitz on her home town. In Britain, Rosie Newman was doing very much the same, filming women as war changed their lives. She had remarkable access to the military and was able to capture the lives of woman at war in a way few others could match.
