A Nazi scheme to capture the Pope, an IRA plan to invade Northern
Ireland, a British plan to attack the Soviet Union after the defeat
of Hitler or a Japanese seizure of the Panama Canal - it may sound
unbelievable, but during World War II these operations and others
as seemingly far-fetched were seriously considered by both the
Allies and the Axis. World War II Plans That Never Happened tells
the stories of some of the most secret and outrageous operations
that were planned during the war, many of which could have taken
place and might well have changed the course of history: from the
German plan to seize bases in Spain and Portugal and invade
Switzerland, to the Japanese plan to bomb the United States, to the
American plan to use Marines to attack V-1 bases in Europe, and the
British plan to invade Norway and Sweden in 1939/40. Using
documents newly released from war archives, World War II Plans That
Never Happened explains the context of each planned operation and
explores whether it might have been successful, and what the impact
might have been on the war if it had gone ahead. Arranged
chronologically, the book includes copies and transcripts of
previously secret documents, rare colour and black-&-white
photographs, illustrations and maps. World War II Plans That Never
Happened will prove fascinating to anyone interested in World War
II.
