Description

Welcome back, history enthusiasts. I'm Philip Champion, and this is WW2 Stories. Today, we're going to explore one of the most audacious and technologically innovative weapons of World War II—a weapon so advanced that it wouldn't be matched until the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles decades later. Yet it was built from paper, silk, and the dreams of desperate men who refused to accept that an ocean could protect their enemies from their reach.
