Unexplained Mysteries of World War II

William B. Breuer

3.5/5 ( ratings)

War defies logic. Loss of life, destruction, unending pain and misery - the results never seem to make sense. But on the brighter side, war is also a breeding ground for other types of illogical occurrences, namely strange coincidences premonitions, mysteries, twists of fate, and the seemingly supernatural. Having searched through stacks of periodicals, military reports, interviews and other publications, author William B. Breuer has come up with other one hundred such illogical events, and presents them in Unexplained Mysteries of World War II. From popular mysteries to barely believable happenings, Breuer sheds light on the absurdity of war from a different angle. For instance...

Famous mysteries...
- Who torched the Normandie in New York harbor?
- Did a New Yorker ad warn of Pearl Harbor?

...premonitions
- Churchill's "feeling" saves his life
- Ernest Hemingway lives to tell about switching seats

...odd encounters
- Roosevelt meets a Nazi agent in the Oval Office
- An American and Japanese soldier accidentally share a fox-hole...all night

...the downright weird
- A U-boat gives a battleship a piggyback ride in the Atlantic
- Shrapnel's mission is foiled by chocolate

...and much more!
