📚 Gifted book 📚

This one is a little different to my usual reads as it's factual and not taking me on a journey to escape reality in a weird and wonderful world. This book gives an insight into WWII and the German V2 rocket. It offers a harsh reality of war and the suffering of communities as a direct result.

The book details Poland's war effort with their Home Army risking their lives to get a German rocket across to Britain. There's a lot more to it than that but the title is there for a reason.

I liked how the beginning of the book tells us about some of the 'characters' and their backgrounds. I also enjoyed learning about Poland's support in the war as often that gets missed out. Oftentimes, history is biased and you get one person/countries view but not the other sides version. This account tells us of the bravery of a war-torn nation and how the Home Army mobilised and found ways to get information and later the rocket to people that needed it; to learn from it.

It's sad, tense, keeps you engaged throughout and well worth a read.

This is the incredible story of how one of Adolf Hitler’s top secret V-2 rockets was stolen by the Poles and smuggled to Britain in the most extraordinary operation of World War II

More extraordinary still, it is a story that is utterly neglected.

The V-2 rocket was part of Adolf Hitler’s plan to break British morale. The world’s first rocket-delivered warhead, the V-1, had killed thousands of British people before Allied forces captured its launch sites and halted the weapon in its tracks. What they weren’t ready for was a new and more terrifying rocket appearing seemingly out of thin air—this one as tall as a four-storey building. Powered by a rocket engine burning a mix of alcohol-water and liquid oxygen, the V-2 blasted its way to the edge of space before falling back to Earth at supersonic speed and killing thirty thousand people. This was the threat of Hitler’s terror made devastatingly real.

But Winston Churchill’s intelligence chiefs had known of the weapon weeks before it first struck the mainland, and British operatives hatched a plan with Polish resistance forces to smuggle one of these rockets out from underneath Hitler’s nose. In Stealing Hitler’s Rocket, Guy Walters reveals the true extent of the secret and life-threatening operation undertaken by the Allies and the Polish underground movement that changed the course of history forever.

Guy Walters

Stealing Hitler’s Rocket

Thursday 8 October
Castle Hill Baptist Church
2.00pm

The V-2 rocket was part of Adolf Hitler’s plan to break British morale. The world’s first rocket warhead, the V-1 ‘Doodlebug’, had already killed thousands when a new, and more terrifying, weapon appeared, seemingly out of thin air. As tall as a four-storey building, the V-2 blasted to the edge of space before falling back to Earth at supersonic speed, killing thirty thousand in one fell swoop.

Yet Churchill’s intelligence chiefs had known of the weapon weeks before it first struck. British operatives hatched a plan with Polish resistance forces to smuggle a V-2 rocket out from under Hitler’s nose.

In Stealing Hitler’s Rocket, Guy Walters reveals the true extent of the extraordinary, secret and life-threatening operation that changed the course of history forever. @guyebwalters @warwick_books @warwick_visitor_centre
