Disarming Hitler's s Weapons

In 1944 the V-1s and V-2s, Hitler's vengeance weapons, were regarded by the Allied leaders in London as the single greatest threat they had faced. It was feared that these flying bombs and rockets might turn the tide of war once again in Germany's favor. Yet, little more than half of these missiles hit their targets, some failing to explode.

Chris Ransted works at The National Archives. His interest in the war years came about as a child, listening to family tales of life in London's docklands during the Blitz. Since a teenager he has collected artifacts and information relating to bomb disposal, and is devoted to keeping the memory of these brave men alive.
He has had numerous magazine articles published on bomb disposal, as well as the books, Disarming Hitler's V-Weapons and_Bomb Disposal and the British Casualties of WW2.
