ERobinette.ELA5 | Oct 29, 2019 |   I rate this book a 5 out of 5, because of it's info. It is 100% true info. It also is a 5 star book because it is very good at distributing info. It is also a good mix of images and info to teach you about the facts. It also is a fun read and surprises you with a lot of new info. It is also explanatory on how stuff was invented then that is still used now. All in all the righter did good job and I highly recommend you read it.

A war as extensive and long-lasting as World War II produces an incalculable number of artifacts. And museums as big and well-stocked as the Imperial War Museums have plenty of the ones you'd expect to find: tanks, jets, helmets, guns, and the like. But there was a whole lot more to the war--and a surprising amount of it is, well, downright weird. Weird War Two pulls the strangest items from deep within the IWM's archives to offer a surprising new, wildly entertaining angle on the war. From wacky inventions such as flying jeeps and bat bombs to elusive secret agents, from wholly bizarre propaganda posters to a dummy whose role as a decoy enabled a daring escape, and from inflatable tanks to painted cows--really--Weird War Two reminds us that human ingenuity is boundless, yet at the same time that usually means that truth ends up stranger than fiction.

In some cases the Lockheed factory's actually had towns built over them and even had laundry
changed from day to day. Or like on D-Day . When they used inflatable balloons that look like
tanks, planes, and trucks. The Germans tried this and failed an had wood bombs dropped on
wood airfields saying "wood for wood." So that is what the book is about
