At the end of the Second World War, Germany lay at the mercy of its
occupiers, all of whom launched programmes of scientific and
technological exploitation. Each occupying nation sought to bolster
their own armouries and industries with the spoils of war, and
Britain was no exception. Shrouded in secrecy yet directed at the
top levels of government and driven by ingenuity from across the
civil service and armed forces, Britain made exploitation a key
priority. By examining factories and laboratories, confiscating
prototypes and blueprints, and interrogating and even recruiting
German experts, Britain sought to utilise the innovations of the
last war to prepare for the next. This ground-breaking book tells
the full story of British exploitation for the first time, sheds
new light on the legacies of the Second World War, and contributes
to histories of intelligence, science, warfare and power in the
midst of the twentieth century.
