1. World War II Secret
Weapons
Stealthier and Weirder!

2. What is this advanced weapons?
• If I ask you a question: “What arms and
weapons do you think used in World War
II?” You will only just answer “Bomb,
Battleship, Guns, Men & Airplanes.”
• But your answer is just only a basic
answer.
• The countries who started WWII (Allies &
Axis) made weapons that did they never
see before. It can be useful and
sometimes………….WEIRD to be used!

4. The Ice Aircraft Carrier (Project Habakkuk)

5. Ice Aircraft Carrier (Project Habakkuk)
• This weird warfare was suggested by a
brilliant inventor, Geoffrey Pyke.
• His ambition was to build an Aircraft
Carrier made up of…..ICE.
• There were two reasons he suggested
this type of invention:
1. Because steel is in very very short supply
during World War 2.
2. Because ice floats and couldn‟t sank!
• But there‟s one small problem…..

6. Geoffrey Pyke (Right) Pykrete (Left)
The Man Who Discovers Pykrete Mixture and his discovered
mixture.

7. Ice Aircraft Carrier (Project Habakkuk)
CAN ICE SURVIVE IN THE RAPID
BULLET OF AN ENEMY?
• Before you can figure it out, Pyke knows
already the solution.
• Mix it with an natural insulator…The Wood
Pulp! He name this mixture “Pykrete” .
• Because of this mixture, Ice can never be
shattered, destruct and even destroy with
a single bullet.

8. Ice Aircraft Carrier (Project Habakkuk)
• Because of this, Lord Louis Mountbatten,
chief of the Combined Operations, get
excited to it that he went to Winston
Churchill‟s Residence and showed it to
the Prime Minister that by that time, he
was in his bathroom.
• Churchill got impressed too. They met
with the U.S military in a top secret level.
• Mountbatten demonstrated it to the U.S
Commanders and General by shooting
the Pykrete.

9. Ice Aircraft Carrier (Project Habakkuk)
• When he shoots it, Pykrete survives and
the bullet fired in different areas in the
room and ended up in the wall.
• The Commanders and Generals got
impressed. They planned Habakkuk with
three Variants.
BUT THEY FORGOT ONE THING.
• If they will build this monster, they will
need a big refrigeration plant that has a
temperature of -22 degrees Fahrenheit.

10. Ice Aircraft Carrier (Project Habakkuk)
• Later that year Habakkuk began to lose priority.
Mountbatten listed several reasons:
1. The great demand for steel.
2. Increased numbers of escort carriers.
3. The introduction of long-range fuel tanks that
allowed British-based aircraft extra patrol time
over the Atlantic.
4. Permission had been received from Portugal to
use airfields in the Azores which facilitated the
hunting of U-boats in the Atlantic.
THE PROJECT WAS ABORTED AND NEVER
SUCEEDED.

11. Antonov A40 Tank Wing

12. Antonov A40 Tank Wing
IN THE FIRST PLACE, THERE WAS
ALREADY PROBLEM
 Tanks are heavy…..REALLY HEAVY while
planes in the other hand, lifts lighter bomb.
 But Stalin knew that Hitler runs Europe and
will invade Soviet Union. So he need a Super
weapon that fast.
 So, Russian Aviation Engineers come up with
a plan, building a Antonov A40 Tank Wing
that made from wood and fabric to make a
wing and attach a long swing tail and put the
tank on!

13. Antonov A40 Tank Wing
 The first prototype was in 1942 and it was
truly flying in the air!
 But a problem were faced by the
engineers:
1. Tanks who flew has a few armor and it‟s
smaller than the combat tank which is the
advantage To the enemy combat tank.
THE PROJECT WAS CANCELLED
BECAUSE NO POWERFUL AIRCRAFT
CAN DEFEAT A TANK INTO THE AIR.

15. Aunt Jemima (HMX Explosive Pancake)

16. Aunt Jemima (HMX Explosive Pancake)
November 1942 – OSS Secret Agency in
Japanese - occupied Mainland China are
working with the residents to sabotage
Japanese supply lines.
The OSS have a simple plan…..get the
explosive into a simple gesture. They
make 80% of high explosive with 20% of
Pillsbury Best Flour.
OSS named the explosive after America‟s
best pancake maker, AUNT JEMIMA.

17. Aunt Jemima (HMX Explosive Pancake)
Fortunately, this simple explosive can
pass through the Japanese soldiers and
they will think that the flour will use as
making pancakes.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE A PANCAKE OUT OF IT??
1. Take 3 cups of military-experimented Aunt
Jemima.
2. A little baking powder.
3. Milk
4. One Egg
5. And melted fat. Start grilling AND PRESTO!!!!!

18. Aunt Jemima (HMX Explosive Pancake)
The secret lay in the high explosive they
used is called “HMX”. This is not like flour
only thus, it is resistant to heat too.
And the advantage of it is that it can be
eaten and POISONOUS FREE!
 Uneaten pancakes or unused dough
could still be used later for its original
explosive purposes.
In China during WWII, 15 tons of the "Aunt
Jemima" HMX mixture was used. None
was ever "discovered" by the Japanese.

19. Tall boy Bomb

20. Tallboy Bomb
 It is started when Nazi‟s Le Blockhaus
was known by the Allies and questioning
themselves, “How to destroy a massive
bunker specially designed to repel attack
from above?
 Barnes Wallace, the inventor of Tallboy
Bomb realized that somehow he can get
the same average on his another
invention, Bouncing bomb on water if he
can somehow manages to bury the bomb
under Le Blockhaus.

21. Tallboy Bomb
 He doesn‟t want to bomb above ground
but underground. That will damage the
foundations of the structure.
 So Barnes Wallace come up with a
strange plan, An absolutely massive, self
– tunneling mine!
 The Tallboy bomb is the weirdest bomb
ever built. It‟s tip is made up of heavily
armored steel that put in a specially
modified bomber designed to carry it‟s
weight and drop from four miles high.

22. Tallboy Bomb
 That cause the bomb to accelerate 2,500 miles
per hour more than three times the speed than
it‟s sound.
 It‟s hard to knows what tunnel seek into the
ground. Then it will explode! creating a mini
earthquake that could crashed Le Blockhaus.
 June 19,1944 – a heavily modified Lancaster
bomber from RAF 617 Squadron flew into the
English Channel with Tallboy on board.
Destination? Le Blockhaus. German Soldiers
don‟t expect this thing. The bomb enters the
ground and crashed Le Blockhaus as Wallace
predicted. SUCCESS :p

24. Maus Tank

25. Maus Tank
• In this current time, Tanks rule most of the
battlefield. They says tank help to rapidly finish
the war, taking many casualties.
• But if you had like a lunatic and war freak Adolf
Hitler, He wants to build 2x bigger than a regular
tank..He called it the MAUS TANK. He named it
after the MOUSE, which is bigger than rat .
• The basic design known as
the VK7001 / Porsche Type 205 was suggested
by Ferdinand Porsche to Adolf Hitler in June
1942, who subsequently approved it.

26. Maus Tank
• The size of this monster is 4 BLOCKS OF A
REGULAR TANK with a canyon from a
BATTLESHIP!
• The bigger and wider of this tank, the more
casualties it take and can destroy the whole
building down……
BUT THEY FORGOT ONE THING.
• The big size of this monster can lead to fail.
BIGGER TANKS CANNOT PASS THROUGH
NARROW PASSAGES and CAN BE STUCK TO
MUDS.
• They finally abandoned it with a fail 

27. Fire Balloon (Fu – Go)

28. Fire Balloon (Fu – Go)
• Japanese Generals think to bomb
America, not Pearl Harbor, MAINLAND
AMERICA!
• But their planes were not capable of flying
across pacific, so they made a plan.
BALLOON BOMBS.
• The idea was simple; Put the balloon in
the air, get the bomb on it, float across the
pacific and hopely, make it to America.

29. Fire Balloon (Fu – Go)
BUT HOW WILL YOU FLOW IT TO THE RIGHT
DIRECTION?
• It does not preclude Japanese Party, they have
one deception, they want to use the power of
nature, THE JET STREAM.
• The Jet Stream in Japan is strong. Which is why
flight from Tokyo to L.A is 10 hour advance while
flying against Jet Stream takes 11 hour.
• The Japanese would certain to the Jet Stream
that they can carry their bomb all the way to
America.

30. Fire Balloon (Fu – Go)
• The problem is…. The Jet Stream over
the pacific is less than three miles thick
and balloon aren‟t capable of that flight.
• At night, the balloon cools down and
contracts, its sinks out of Jet Stream. So
the Japanese rigged it to fire out ballast to
maintain the correct altitude. In the day
time, balloon warms up and rises up
again. So advancing the expanded
hydrogen to solve the effect, it works!

31. Le Blockhaus

32. Le Blockhaus
• In 1943, they began constructing a colossal
bunker near the coast of France, not so far from
Britain.
• This mammoth structure is 73 feet high and 38
feet deep with walls up to 16 feet thick made
entirely out of concrete.
• If would work, it can launch 6 V-2 Rockets every
single day.
• The allies mobilize massive raids against the Le
Blockhaus. But the bunker was typically designed
to resist the conventional bombs that exploded
above ground.

33. Le Blockhaus
• When you bomb on the top the bunker, it
can absorb the blast that came from the
bomb but, if you will bomb to
underground, which is the fundamental
pillar of the structure, can lead to a
massive destruction. „
• Allies gave already a solution that could
defeat Le Blockhaus, The tallboy bomb.

34. V-3 (Vengeance Cannon/Supergun)

35. V-3 (Vengeance Cannon/Supergun)
• The barrel alone was 490 feet long, twice
as Jumbo jet. To maximize range they
need to built 45 angle and dug into the
ground. To fly the rocket all the way to
London, they will pass into the shells. For
every shell they pass, they accelerate.
• V-3 was built in Normandy, France. It‟s
first fire was a success. It hit London very
badly but never continued operating.
• It was bombed by the Tallboy of the R.A.F
……….THIS IS NOT ONLY THE WEIRD WEAPONS BOTH AXIS AND ALLIED
POWERS BUILT. HOPE GLAD YOU RESEARCH THE OTHERS…………
