Alright lads, this week we are commemorating the 75th Anniversary of V-J Day by looking at World War 2 from a more obscure angle.
We're marking the occasion by discussing failed weapons and successful missions. In particular, the exploding wheel of death that was The Great Panjandrum. Lyttle Adams infamous Bat Bombs. The cockleshell heroes of Operation Frankton and the mind boggling brilliance that was Operation Mincemeat.
Dead bodies with new identities. Flying mammals strapped with Napalm and Kayaking bad asses. If you like your history a little unorthodox, then this one's for you.
