Gradually yielding to the Allies in the number of all kinds of weapons, Hitler hoped to take revenge with quality and bring to the battlefield a wonder weapon that would turn the game upside down. Such wonder weapons were considered to be the V-1 and V-2 rockets, the super-heavy Maus and Lowe tanks, the giant Dora cannon, new submarines and jet aircraft. And some types of Nazi weapons were really ahead of their time. So why couldn't Hitler win the war, although he really had a "wonder weapon"? And why did he let a real wunderwaffe slip through his fingers, which would have allowed him, if not to win the war, then at least to avoid a catastrophic defeat - the atomic bomb?
