Can a nation build a miracle out of plywood, coal dust, and sheer denial?

In the winter of 1944, the German war machine was a hollowed-out beast. Allied bombs rained down day and night, pulverizing steel mills, oil refineries, and aircraft factories. Yet, deep within the pine forests of the Black Forest and the damp, lightless caverns of abandoned salt mines, a strange and frantic activity hummed. Here, a cast of eccentric engineers, outcast inventors, and desperate regime lackeys were given free rein to build anything-absolutely anything-that might stave off the inevitable. Under the shadow of the gallows, they drafted the future, building machines that looked less like weapons of war and more like the fever dreams of science fiction.
