Great Britain produced, amongst others, Radar, Hobart's funnies and the Bouncing Bomb. Germany, with the rocket genius Von Braun on her side, created the V1 flying bomb and the V2 missile, which lit the dawn of the space race. America created the ultimate weapon of war, the Atomic Bomb, produced to a punishing schedule and used to stop the war in its tracks.
