shelfimprovement's review against another edition
4.0
I bought this book for my boyfriend, a history buff and frequent visitor to somethingawful.com (the website that Parsons helps run). He brought it to my house one night, where I picked it up out of boredom and was surprised to find that I enjoyed it. This is not really a subject that I am normally interested in, but Parsons made it very funny and informative without going over my head.

Amusing articles about off-beat military inventions from WWII, mostly from Germany. And mostly pretty bloody stupid and wasteful. The author described each, and then speculated on how it might have been used had it actually been put into production.

Fun exploration of failed technologies of World War 2, and name for a great Darkest of the Hillside Thickets song!
