Secret Nazi Science

What secrets did the Nazis hope to find inside the cells and DNA of the human body?

WWII was a war in the skies. Though the Treaty of Versailles had prevented the Germans from developing new weapons, they sponsored air clubs and pushed for supremacy in the air.

Adolf Hitler was famously against using chemical and biological weapons-but chemistry and biological science still played an incredible role in the Nazi's unquenchable quest for power.

What would it take to bomb the Allies into the ground? This was the question on the minds of top Nazi brass as they mobilised Germany's top scientists to create frightening new bombs.

For the Nazis, science was a tool to help the war effort and assure the Thousand Year Reich-how could a Nazi soldier and its leadership be optimized?

In the early days of WWII, the Royal Air Force assumed that the bomber would always get through-so then how were the Germans picking off bombers with incredible efficiency?

Blood and soil. For the Nazis, it wasn't just a metaphor, and they went to great lengths to warp the natural world to their whims.

The triumphal architecture of the Nazi regime hints at a deeply dystopian future. Inspired by the Greek ideal, over 40 Thingplatz amphitheatres are built, while the oversized Nuremberg Rally Grounds and Olympic Stadium mirror the Roman Colosseum and are built to last for thousands of years.
