    My Tank Is Fight!: Deranged Inventions of WWII

    Written by Zack Parsons

    Narrated by Patrick Lawlor

    3.5/5

    About this audiobook

    My Tank Is Fight! contains a humorous and exciting examination of twenty real inventions from World War II that never saw the light of day. Each entry includes full technical details, a complete development history, in-depth analysis, and a riveting fictionalized account of the invention's success or failure on the battlefield.

    Dive under the Atlantic in the turreted U-Cruiser, or rule its surface from an aircraft carrier made out of ice. Shred bomber formations in a high-performance flying wing fighter and then rocket to your untimely end from the cockpit of your very own suicide missile. We've got a pair of German armored land vehicles for you that are so large they had to be powered by naval engines!

    My Tank Is Fight! delivers the thrilling action of the Second World War as it might have been with a touch of humor and a lack of class.

      A fun an humors book based off inventions that almost were, could have been, and were just a dream during the war-machine that was World War II. This book pairs interesting facts with speculative fiction that tells the story about how these weapons of war could have been. The book varies in content from night vision on weapons to Nazi Space stations that seem straight out of an alternate history science fiction movie. This book is fun to read for history buffs and for alternate history fans.
    • 3/5
      A look at some of World War II's most unorthodox inventions, most of which weren't cut out for prime time. Or any other time. As you might expect, the Nazis, driven as they were by increasing desperation, completely dominate this collection of madcap machinery. The writing and humor are a bit spotty, but overall it's pretty amusing.
    • 5/5
      A fun book if you're into WWII history and speculative fiction. The real history of failed WWII inventions and what might have happened if these war machines were deployed in combat.
