Modern Marvels: WWII

In this episode, necessity sparks wartime ingenuity, turning compact tools into powerful weapons. From the Bazooka and Cavity Magnetron radar, to the Enigma code machine, to a pioneering night vision scope, engineers and scientists create faster.

From blasting through mountains, to building gigantic infrastructure across the sea, to the biggest battleship in history and iconic builds like the Pentagon and the Maginot Line, WWII engineering is a battle of scale that turns the tide of the war.

From Britain's Bouncing Bomb and Grand Slam, to America's B-29 Superfortress, and Germany's massive Gustav Gun, these innovations shatter defenses, dominate the skies, and lay the groundwork for modern military technology.
